In 2012 Michealene ran for President of the United States in 2012 under a new technology platform called Americans Elect, structured to give the vote back to the American people. Her goal was to reach the national stage and push current Presidential nominees to tell the truth. She finished in the top three candidates, despite being the only candidate without a national presence.

Whitman’s immediate goal is to get a moderate candidate chosen through Americans Elect on the 2012 ballot, so that he or she can participate in debates, and she said that possibilities include John Huntsman, Ron Paul, and activist Michaelene Risley.
