Did they ever serve as governor of a US state, or as a member of the US House of Representatives or as a member of the US Senate?

If no, is this person primarily famous for something related to politics or government of the USA?

Scratch that.

Elected official, candidate for elected office, or US cabinet member?

Was this person a member of the Cabinet of the United States (which, per Wikipedia, includes department heads, Cabinet-level officials, and the vice president)?

If yes: served in the administration of Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, or Reagan?

If no: is this either a candidate for president, or a mayor?

To be clear, both of these are conditional on Aristocrat's question, not on each other.

If yes to Hominidae's condition, then free guess: Henry Kissinger.

I'll assume you mean "was" as we know this person is dead. No.

15 down. I think you have over-interpreted a particular answer. "Related to..." is a very broad term. Look back over the questions where "related to" was used.

1,2,9. Real dead human, born 1895-2024.
3,7,8. Born in US.
4,5,12. Primarily famous for something related to US politics or government.
13. Elected official, or candidate for elected office.
6,11,14,15. Never served as President; Governor; US Senator or Congressman; US Cabinet; candidate for President; or Mayor.
10. Not a Democrat.

So this is someone who ran for office at least once, but not president, and is presumably not really a politician.

Is this person primarily known as an activist?

Yes. But you already knew he was not candidate for President, and you don't run for Cabinet. And you're still barking up the wrong tree.

1,2,9. Real dead human, born 1895-2024.
3,7,8. Born in US.
4,5,12. Primarily famous for something related to US politics or government.
13. Elected official, or candidate for elected office.
6,11,14,15,16. Ran for, but never served as: President; Governor; US Senator; US Congressman; or Mayor. Never served in US Cabinet.
10. Not a Democrat.
