Former GOP governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson declared officially today for the Libertarian Party presidential nomination. He never caught on as a GOP presidential candidate, but then he’s closer to LP positions than those of the Republican party.
He’s not a household name, but his two terms as the governor of New Mexico assures that he’s an experienced option. It’s a good sign that the LP (as with former Congressman Bob Barr in 2008) can attract established politicians.
