America First Party (1990s)

For other political parties with a similar name see: America First Party.

America First Party was founded in the early 1990s by A.J. Barker and Ed Fields.

In 1996 they ran Ralph Forbes of London, Arkansas as the "America First Party" candidate in the 1996 presidential campaign with Pro-Life leader Andy Anderson as his running mate, winning 932 votes.[1] He had tried unsuccessfully to file as the candidate of his own Freedom Party.[2]. Forbes had a radically hard-right past, having previously been a campaign manager for David Duke's Populist Party run for the Presidency and had also been an officer in the American Nazi Party.
