Bread and Roses Party Marches Into the Sunset; Founder Runs for Governor as a Dem

The Bread and Roses Party, a socialist party that was officially recognized by the State of Maryland for the 2020 election cycle, has disbanded. The party founder, Jerome M. Segal, an author, college lecturer and activist, says he plans to run for governor as a Democrat in 2022. Segal set the wheels in motion to create the Bread and Roses Party in 2018, after unsuccessfully challenging U.S. Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin in the Democratic primary.
