A Luddite platform would involve some kind of practical or theoretical opposition to technological progress, not purely for safety reasons, but specifically to preserve jobs, or otherwise to preserve the way things are today. This could be in general, or in specific industries, or focused on government jobs in particular.
The platform could be their personal stated views, a personal manifesto (if the candidate is standing as an independent) or the manifesto of a party they are running as a member of.
To qualify for this market, the elected official has to be able to actually do something significant about their Luddite beliefs. A Luddite dog-catcher does not count.
