Kevin McCormick is running for governor of Arizona with $6,500. Would you do something that crazy?
As a Libertarian, he faces voter petition laws that are more restrictive than ever before.
As a candidate, he faces pushback from many Libertarians for using a government resource unique to Arizona politics: The Clean Elections Commission.
How are tax dollars going to help a Libertarian run for public office on a “clean election” platform? Does this sound crazy? Maybe.

Orange County, Florida is a fairly prominent area -- in fact, it's Florida's fifth most populous county. 200,000 Orange residents passed a vote for nonpartisan elections in 2014, but four years later, candidates still run under party flags.
Living anywhere outside the northern parts of the country means one probably does not know what the bone-chilling, bitter cold of negative-degree temperatures and wind chill feel like.
It bites. It blisters. It feels like nothing people outside these regions have ever experienced before.
As I describe this, one might wonder why anyone would voluntarily want to be out in such weather. Well, for volunteers with the Committee for Ranked Choice Voting in Maine, defending voters' rights is worth it.

Vermont is poised to become the 30th U.S. state to legalize marijuana for medical or recreational consumption, and the first state to legalize adults’ possession and limited cultivation of marijuana through an act of the legislature, rather than by popular ballot proposition.
