William Allen White ran for governor of Kansas as an independent in 1932 primarily because he was disillusioned with the two major political parties, particularly their failure to address pressing social and economic issues during the Great Depression. He believed that an independent candidacy would allow him to advocate for reform and represent the interests of ordinary citizens without being constrained by party politics. His campaign focused on progressive ideals and aimed to unite Kansans across party lines.
