Gary Johnson, Libertarian
Seattle Times
By Bruce Ramsey
New Mexico is a “blue” state, 47%
Hispanic. Johnson won the governorship the first time with 49.8 percent of the
vote in a race against an incumbent Democrat and a third-party Green. He
won the second time with 54.5 percent. In 2008 he supported libertarian
Republican Ron Paul for president, and in 2012 Johnson announced a run himself.
He would have had Paul’s supporters this year, except that Paul ran again
and kept them for himself.
Libertarian hopeful Gary Johnson gets
warm welcome in chilly Alaska

Even though Alaska has a relatively
strong Libertarian Party, former two-term New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson’s face
isn't readily recognizable to many in the state. So it was surprising to this
reporter when a young man walked up to his table at the Midtown Anchorage
Village Inn, where Johnson was munching on a cobb salad, to shake his hand and
thank him for running for president of the United States.
