LaRouche supporters are usually referred to as 'LaRouche Democrats' or 'LaRouchies'.  In 1986, two LaRouche Democrats won the primary election in Illinois for Secretary of State and Lieutenant Governor, promoting the winner of the primary for Governor, [[Adlai Stevenson III]], to run on the 'Illinois Solidarity Party' ticket instead, refusing to run with LaRouche followers.  LaRouche followers have otherwise been notably unsuccessful at the polls.
