Daniel Joseph Pilla, December 20, 1957 (Ramsey, Minn.) -
VP candidate for American Political Party (1996)
Running mate with nominee: Roger Thomas Davis (1935-2016)
Popular vote: 10 (0.00%)
Electoral vote: 0/538
The campaign:
Roger Thomas Davis of Barry, Ill. was a US Navy Korean War veteran. He filed for President under the name of the American Political Party. Ignored by the media, this was another stealth campaign.
Whether or not celebrated tax litigation consultant and author Daniel J. Pilla, based in the St. Paul, Minn. area, knew he had been selected as the American Political Party VP nominee is a question. The choice of Pilla suggests the APP platform probably had tax reform as a centerpiece.
There is no information out there connecting the American Political Party ticket of 1992 of George Berish/Linda Smith based in Hawaii with the 1996 American Political Party ticket of Davis and Pilla. But who knows?
Certified only in the State of Utah as write-ins, the Davis/Pilla ticket earned 10 votes.
Election history: none
Other occupations: tax litigation consultant, author, lecturer, editor of Pilla Talks Taxes newsletter, Founder and Director of the Tax Freedom Institute
