"10-1.2 Party Affiliation: Candidate is not a registrant or otherwise a party member of any state or national level political party in the individual's primary state of residence except for a state party which has affiliated with GPUS, or a party forming for the intent of GPUS affiliation in a state where there is no GPUS affiliated state party"

Howie Hawkins's is a member of a the Socialist Party and has been sine the 1970's. He is also running for their presidential nomination.
