In the 2012 election, Boss received 1,024 votes for President of the United States.[7]

He ran for the Democratic nomination for Governor of New Jersey in 2013,[8] but was removed from the ballot after the New Jersey Democratic State Committee challenged the nominating petitions of all independent candidates seeking the Democratic nomination.[9] He subsequently filed new petitions to run for governor in the general election and appeared on the ballot as the "NSA Did 911" candidate.[10] Out of the eight candidates, Boss finished last, with 0.1% of the vote.
