Patrick Noble (born April 28, 1993) is an American democratic socialist politician who has been the National Co-Chair of the Socialist Party USA since 2015.
Noble serves concurrently as the party's National Treasurer and State Secretary of the Socialist Party of New Jersey. As a second-term member of the Red Bank Regional High School Board of Education, he is also the only member of the Socialist Party currently holding elected office.[1]
Career[edit]
Noble co-founded the Socialist Party's Central New Jersey local in March 2011 and served as its Chair for several years. He also served as Party Secretary for New Jersey from 2011 to 2015 before returning to the position in 2017.
Noble was the plaintiff in a 2013 lawsuit against New Jersey Secretary of State Kim Guadagno over the latter's refusal to allow voters in New Jersey to register their affiliation with the Socialist Party of New Jersey.[2] The lawsuit was ultimately successful, with the State agreeing in March 2014 to grant voter registration abilities to the SPNJ.[3]
Noble was elected unopposed as National Co-Chair of the Socialist Party by the party's 2015 National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was subsequently re-elected by the 2017 National Convention in New York City with 56% of the votes cast on the first ballot. The nearest challenger in the four-way race received 20% of the votes cast.
