Progressive Party (United States)
- Progressive Party (United States)
The name Progressive Party has been assigned to a collection of parties in the United States over the past century or so. Several members retained their membership through the changes in national leadership. They all sought to change the status quo through the evolving ideology of progressivism. None of the parties listed below realized national electoral success. However, the Progressive Party of 1912 came in second (ahead of the Republican Party's candidate William Howard Taft) in the Presidential Election of 1912, Wisconsin had a formidable Progressive Party in the 1930s and the Vermont Progressive Party currently controls several seats in the state legislature and the mayoralty of Burlington.
The three parties in the United States most often referred to as the Progressive Party are:
* Progressive Party (United States, 1912), Theodore Roosevelt's “Bull Moose Party”
* Progressive Party (United States, 1924), the Progressive Party of Wisconsin and the LaFollette family
* Progressive Party (United States, 1948), the Progressive Party of Henry A. Wallace
Others which have the phrase "Progressive Party" in their names:
* Vermont Progressive Party, a current state-level party
* Minnesota Progressive Party, which ran Eugene McCarthy for President in 1988
* Progressive Party of Missouri, the Green Party affiliate for the state of Missouri
