Blog Number 2: Libertarians to pick candidate for governor

Austin American Statesman recently wrote an article called "Texas Libertarians to pick candidate for governor." This article describes efforts of the Libertarian party to select their candidate for governor and other statewide offices. They will vote this Saturday in Austin and make revisions of the party platform on Sunday. Their main party platform is a smalled government, more personal liberties, and lower taxes. Although the libertarian party is small it has expanded and demonstrated growth. Their operating budget is $370,000 which is the highest it has ever been and has 10,000 people in their state party database. They are realistic knowing that they are often overlooked but they are hoping for a strong candidate to really kick start a successful election cycle.
