Arrin Hawkins

Arrin Hawkins was Roger Calero's runningmate as the vice presidential candidate for the American Socialist Workers Party in the 2004 U.S. presidential election.

Because at the time of the election she was younger than 35 years of age (she was 28), she was constitutionally ineligible to serve as vice president. Therefore, some states did not allow Hawkin's name to be listed on the ballot. In those states, Margaret Trowe, the Socialist Workers' vice-presidential candidate from the 2000 ticket, stood in for her on the ballot [cite news | first= | last= | coauthors= | title=Presidency 2004 | date= | publisher= | url =http://www.politics1.com/swp04.htm | work =Politics1.com | pages = | accessdate = 2007-10-16 | language = |quote= Margaret Trowe is the SWP surrogate nominee for Vice President in any states thatwill not accept Hawkins as a qualified candidate because she is a not constitutionally eligible.] .

Hawkins is a leader in the youth wing of the Socialist Workers' Party. She holds a degree from the University of Minnesota, where she spent time in Senegal studying the role of women in African society.
