Career

Pason joined the Party in 1989, shortly after joining the Party's official youth arm, the Young People's Socialist League (YPSL).

As the National Secretary, Pason runs the day-to-day business of the Party, out of the national office in New York City.

He has run for several public offices in the past two decades, including two campaigns for Governor of New Jersey and four campaigns for the United States Senate. He has achieved ballot status for all seven of his campaigns, a rarity for perennial candidates.[2][3]
