I can’t think of many (any?) other EA leaders who want to become elected leaders.
While this was before contemporary EA, Peter Singer has run for office before:
In 1992, he became a founding member of the Victorian Greens.[43] He has run for political office twice for the Greens: in 1994 he received 28% of the vote in the Kooyong by-election, and in 1996 he received 3% of the vote when running for the Senate (elected by proportional representation).[43] Before the 1996 election, he co-authored a book The Greens with Bob Brown.[44]
Of course, some of our even earlier predecessors, like the old school English utilitarians, or the Chinese Mohists, were substantially more interested in direct politics (rather than precursors to think-tank style policy analysis) than we are.
