Israel Amter was a founding member of the Communist Party, USA and a leading functionary into the 1940s. Born on March 26, 1881 in Denver to Jewish immigrant parents. He joined the Socialist Party in 1901, and in 1903 moved to Germany where he remained until 1914, editing the German Export Review, participating in the Social Democratic Party, and studying music at the Leipzig Conservatory, where he composed his never-performed opera Winona (1912), which concerns the love between a U.S. army officer and a Native American woman, Winona. Amter was the US representative to the Comintern from 1923 to 1924; he was a delegate to the 3rd Enlarged Plenum of ECCI and to the 5th World Congress of the Communist International in 1924. He was the Cleveland District Organizer of the Communist (Workers) Party in 1927 and later the District Organizer in New York. Amter was a frequent candidate of the Communist Party for various political offices. He ran for U.S. Senate in Ohio. He ran for Congress in New York in 1930 and 1938. He also ran for Manhattan Borough President in 1931 and 1933, for President of the Board of Aldermen in 1936, for New York City Council in 1937, 1939, and 1941, and for Governor of New York in 1932, 1934, and 1942.
