Americans Elect to Run Candidates for Down Ballot Offices in 2014

Richard Winger has a report about Americans Elect and an interview their CEO Peter Ackerman gave to radio talk show host Frank Morano. Winger correctly points out the most interesting part of the interview concerns Americans Elect’s future plans for elections.

Perhaps Ackerman’s most interesting comment is his statement that in 2014, Americans Elect will be on ballots for all partisan office, not just President as is the case for 2012. Ackerman suggested, but did not state explicitly, that in 2014, Americans Elect will have nominees for a full range of all partisan offices.

It was not previously known whether Americans Elect was going to contest any elections after 2012 or any office other than President in the future.
