Campaign
In September 2023 Crossview Podcast interviewed Sonski with a discussion of "faith, the duopoly and third parties, government's role in handling covid, immigration, foreign policy, moral issues, education, and more." [11]
In December 2023 Fr. Dwight Longenecker published an interview on The Stream in which Sonski explained that "third parties provide thoughtful alternatives and allow other voices to be heard, and this is important in a democratic system." [12]
In January 2024 Catholic News Agency interviewed Sonski in which he said that he wants to "provide a means for Catholics to vote in accord with the conscience, rather than just for the 'lesser of two evils.'" [13] Crisis Magazine also published an interview, conducted by Fr. Dwight Longenecker, which describes how Sonski "was born into a blue-collar Catholic family and went on to work in agriculture, insurance, journalism, and public relations." [14]
In April 2024, Christianity Today reported that Evangelicals disaffected with the two main parties were beginning to get their support. [15]
In June 2024, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Church were the first major Protestant organization to give them coverage with a four-part series that looked at the various parties in the election. [16]
In July 2024, soon after the Republican National Convention, the National Review characterized the Solidarity Party as the only current anti-abortion party, contrasting with the Democratic and Republican parties; the latter especially so because of a perceived softening of their stance on abortion in their platform which they released at their convention. [17] Aleteia published an interview of Sonski in which he described the American Solidarity Party as "predominantly centrist – a little right on social issues, a little left on fiscal issues." [18]
Also that month, EWTN's News In Depth interviewed Sonski in which he said, "My faith informs all my decisions." [19]
In August 2024, the American Reformer magazine acknowledging that evangelicals critical of Donald Trump were "flocking to the American Solidarity party" wrote a critical assessment of the campaign urging evangelicals to think twice before voting for Sonski, stating that "stakes are too high too high and the country on the brink" and that "at the presidential level votes should not be wasted on quixotic schemes" [20]
Later in August, New Jersey Republicans successfully launched a legal challenge against Sonski's position on the New Jersey ballot, claiming some of his ballot access signatures were invalid. Sonski ultimately did not appear on the ballot in that state. [21]
Again in August, the Gospel Coalition, an evangelical group, published an article comparing the Democratic, Republican, Solidarity, and Constitution parties' stances on key social issues. [22]
That same month, The Pillar, a Catholic news agency, profiled the campaign, conducting an interview with Sonski. [23]
NCR did a piece on how difficult it was for the Sonski campaign to get Ballot access during the election. [24]
