Originally from Oklahoma, Waldrop returned to his home state in the mid-90s where he was involved with the successful 1996 OKLP ballot access petition drive. He dropped out of partisan politics but remained active in many other areas, such as promoting the permaculture movement, creating the Oklahoma Food Cooperative, and founding the Oscar Romero Catholic Worker House. He has been a recipient of the Earth Care Award by the Oklahoma Chapter of the Sierra Club and the Green Shield Award by the Oklahoma Sustainability Network. | Originally from Oklahoma, Waldrop returned to his home state in the mid-90s where he was involved with the successful 1996 OKLP ballot access petition drive.
