Since 1856, 170 years ago, only two parties have run the country. No matter which party was in power – Democrat or Republican – they worked to enrich the capitalist class at the expense of working people. For 170 years, both parties took the country to war, after campaigning on the promise to keep the country out of war. Exploitation of the workers, enormous profit for the bosses, wars on other people – this is the long record of both parties. 

The June 2026 Convention of the Working Class Party in Michigan nominated 20 candidates for the November elections: eight for U.S. Congress, seven for Michigan state Senate, and two for the state House. In addition, three candidates were nominated for statewide education boards – allowing everyone in the state of Michigan to cast a vote for Working Class Party.
