Overview

• No Labels, a third-party political group, has filed a lawsuit against Arizona to prevent non-endorsed candidates from running for state offices under the party's banner.
• The suit was triggered by the decision of Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes to reject a request by No Labels to block such candidates, asserting the party’s ‘freedom of association’ rights.
• In addition to trying a presidential bid, the group has launched initiatives to prevent candidates from filing for state offices, a trend already seen in two candidates: Tyson Draper and Richard Grayson.
• No Labels has successfully facilitated over 15,000 registrations in Arizona alone, producing fears among Democrats of a spoiler effect in the 2024 presidential election.
• The party has raised $60 million, secured ballot access in more than twelve states, and is now focusing on all 50, claiming they will only announce a candidate if they see a viable path to the White House.
