description: "Pat Choate is an American economist. He was the 1996 Reform Party candidate for Vice President of the United States, the running-mate of Ross Perot. They had previously co-authored the book Save Your Job, Save Our Country (1993), which argued against the ratification of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Following the 1996 election, the Federal Election Commission certified the Reform Party as a national political party and eligible for federal campaign matching funds, a historic first for a third national political party."
