The National Progressives of America (NPA) also referred to as the National Progressives was a Progressive political party in the United States established in April 1938. The organization was closely associated with the personality and agenda of Wisconsin governor Philip La Follette and was delivered an essentially mortal blow as a national organization when his bid for re-election was defeated in November of that year.
Although continuing to operate from its Madison, Wisconsin, headquarters into the early 1940s, the NPA failed to gain significant support around the country and was broadly criticized for lack of programmatic specifics and for its use of fascist-inspired iconography.
