Robert Andrew Crawford Wells (born April 10, 1968) is an American politician and former college football coach. He was the head football coach at Savannah State University in Savannah, Georgia for the 2008 and 2009 seasons.[1]

Wells unsuccessfully sought the Constitution Party's nomination for President of the United States in the 2012 presidential election.[2][3][4] He ran as an independent in the 2016 presidential election. He was a candidate in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries.

In January 2024, Wells filed with the FEC to run in Virginia's 6th congressional district as an independent.[5][6]

In 2024 Wells is also available as an automatic write-in presidential candidate in eight states (66 electors) along with vice-presidential running mate (and Party Party founder) Tony Jones.

The Wells/Jones Party Party ticket has ballot access in Rhode Island (4 electors) and will appear in the fourth slot on the 2024 Rhode Island presidential ballot.[7][8]
