Santa Fe, NM – Libertarian presidential
nominee and former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson’s campaign has qualified
for matching funds from the federal Presidential Election Campaign Fund.
Johnson’s eligibility was announced by the Federal Election Commission
Thursday.
Responding to the FEC announcement,
Johnson said, “The fact that our campaign has attracted the broad-based support
required to qualify for matching funds is yet another clear indication that we
are having a very real impact on this election. Poll after poll confirms that a
great many Americans are not finding what they want in the limited choices
presented by the two ‘major’ parties, and these matching funds will help us
give those voters a real voice in November.”
To become eligible for matching funds,
candidates must raise a threshold amount of $100,000 by collecting $5,000 in 20
different states in amounts no greater than $250 from any individual.
