"Independent" is a recognized party affiliation, just like the Green Party or the Libertarian party. Bernie Sanders is also an independent.

Not necessarily, you can run with no party affiliation, as long as you meet the other requirements to hold office.
@MPCavalier so if I understand this correctly you have to be a member of a party to be elected to office that sounds crazy.
