Also seeking the nomination are Kathie Glass, who was the party’s gubernatorial nominee in 2010, and Gene Chapman. In 2010, Glass polled 2.19%. Wrights is probably best-known for placing second for president at the Libertarian national convention 2012. Gary Johnson was nominated with 419 votes, and Wrights placed second with 152.

There is a fourth candidate, Joshua Baker. Mr. Chapman will not sign the candidate oath and is therefore not eligible for the nomination. Ms. Youngblood-Glass will have to overcome many negatives about her 2010 campaign (not a single penny spent on TV, for instance). Mr. Wrights seems the only candidate of the four who can run a campaign that will be both principled -and- effective.

They’d be fools not to nominate Lee Wrights.
