Populist.

A populist politician builds support by portraying "the people" as opposed to a corrupt or indifferent elite, arguing those in power don't care about ordinary citizens. The other terms don't fit as well: centrist = moderate position, Protestant = a religious group, socialist = an economic/political ideology.
