Yes, he has declared his intention to run for President. Do a search on Dr. Shiva and running for President.
BTW, no party has any connection to the government in any way. They are all private organizations.
That's why an undeclared political party is able to exit. I'm speaking of course of the Uni-party, a corrupt party that never participates in elections, only members of other political parties, and usually of only the Republican or Democrats Parties are members of the Uni-party. They ensure that the Uni-party members have the best opportunity for election, but if one should fail, they are given cushy jobs in the private sector based upon their education & the value they brought to the Uni-party. It doesn't matter to them if a Republican or a Democrat wins, as long as they are Uni-party members. In most elections the candidate running in both parties is a Uni-party member. So they are assured that a Uni-party member is elected in those races.
It's a rare occurrence that we can get one of ours elected. Right now we have 70 Congressional members, but they have 152 RINOs in place.
