The American Solidarity Party (“ASP”) announced on June 2, 2023, that Peter Sonski was nominated as its 2024 candidate for President of the United States. The Vice Presidential nominee will be chosen later by ASP members but deference to Mr. Sonski’s preferred VP candidate is likely.
According to its Wikipedia article, “The American Solidarity Party (ASP) is a Christian-democratic political party in the United States. It was founded in 2011 and officially incorporated in 2016. The party has a Solidarity National Committee (SNC) and has numerous active state and local chapters…The American Solidarity Party has been characterized as socially conservative while supporting government intervention in economic matters. The ASP encourages social development along the lines of subsidiarity and sphere sovereignty, with a stated emphasis on ‘the importance of strong families, local communities, and voluntary associations’. It favors fiscally progressive policies and a social market economy with a distributist character, that seeks ‘widespread economic participation and ownership’ and providing a social safety net program.”
Mr. Sonski was nominated through online voting that occurred May 24-June 1 that would have used Ranked Choice Voting, but for his majority vote (328 votes, 52%) received on the first ballot. Four other candidates received the remaining 48% of the votes.
Peter Sonski is the former Assistant Editor at the National Catholic Register. He has a long history in the pro-life movement, with previous registration in both the Democratic and Republican Parties before finding the ASP during the 2020 election cycle. Peter is concluding his second term as an elected member of Connecticut’s Regional School District 17 Board of Education. His campaign plans to fund raise aggressively for ballot access and pursue a strong media strategy.
The ASP’s 2020 presidential ticket of Brian Carroll for President and Amar Patel for Vice President was on the ballot in eight states and was a certified write-in ticket in 31 states, receiving over 42,000 votes, according to Wikipedia.

How dose the party reconcile its support for “government intervention in economic matters” and “fiscally progressive policies” with the principle of subsidiarity?
I always vote for the minor party candidate over the major party candidate.
I wish the American Solidarity Party luck in 2024. Hopefully they can increase their vote share.
BDLU
I would not say always, but that was often the case for decades. There were exceptions such as Goldwater 1964, Reagan 1980 and 1984, and Trump 2016 and 2020, and others at the local and state levels, but Goldwater lost, Reagan was held back from a lot of what he wanted and needed to do by the deep state and bad advisors, and Trump to a large extent likewise during his first term. However, TRUMP and people closest to him have now learned from those lessons and have a plan for 2025-9 and beyond which I believe is our best hope yet because it addresses the problems that caused a lot less improvements than we could have had in Trump’s first term had he had free reign.
Most importantly, there is a plan to fire and replace about 50,000 mid level federal bureaucrats across every department and agency with people who are loyal to Trump and his movement, and who will be identified and prehired (with backups) by the time he takes his oath of office. There are any number of other such improvements which will make the second Trump term not only much better than the first, but transformative in a way only Andrew Jackson could be equated to, or even more so.
It comes right in the nick of time. Together, Putin, Trump, Lukashenko, Orban, Meloni, LePen, and others in the ascending right wing nationalist movements throughout what might loosely be called Greater Europe will save Christian and European civilization from the evil plans of the Luciferian globalist illuminati. Deo Vindice!
Walter we would prefer local control over areas where that is possible, but understand federal programs are necessary for the time being. Though there are some different views within the party on this.
Does anyone know where I might find the complete figures for the nomination vote, including the names of the candidates who lost?
A.J., the results were:
Peter Sonski of Connecticut: 328 (52%)
Jacqueline Abernathy of Texas: 207 (33%)
Joe Schriner of Ohio: 50 (8%)
Larry Johnson of Colorado: 24 (4%)
Erskine Levi of California: 16 (3%)
Some additional detail is available if you want it.
BDLU so if a communist was the only third party candidate you would vote for him?
Welcome aboard, Mr. Redpath!
Lewis,
BDLU is a national socialist. Contrary to commonly accepted leftist propaganda, national socialists are left wing, not right wing. They have a lot more in common with communists and so called progressives (communists on the installment plan) than they do with traditional conservatives. I say traditional conservatives because globalist fake conservatives are another flavor of leftists whose endgame is the same totalitarian global depopulation hell as the rest of them, regardless of how it’s sold and the steps to get there. The left is evil, its father is Satan, Satan speaks with forked tongues, and he is the father of lies.
When you understand all this, it’s of very little surprise that a national socialist would prefer a communist or “progressive” to a traditional conservative. In fact, if you take the time to familiarize yourself with the marginal individuals who associate with the small and grotesque openly communist and national socialist parties and movements in countries they do not control – time you could almost certainly put to better use – you’ll see a lot of familiar patterns in their lives, and many of them going back and forth between the two, sometimes more than once, and often quite seamlessly, like athletes trading teams or gang members switching their gang allegiances, or perhaps street drug addicts switching their drug of choice. They don’t then suddenly become fundamentally different types of people.
I’m just wondering why ASP and Sonski didn’t choose Jacqueline Abernathy of Texas as his runningmate?! Seems like a great way to seek greatest participation regionally as well as using demonstrated energy and support among christian democrats involved in the ASP process.
