Venture capitalist Jeffrey S. McCormick announced last month that he will run for Governor of Massachusetts in 2014 as an independent. See this story. He is backed by Joe Malone, a former Republican who was elected Treasurer of Massachusetts in 1990 and re-elected in 1994. Malone recently left the Republican Party and became an independent.

Evan Falchuk is also running for Governor of Massachusetts outside the two major parties. He has been campaigning since July and he expects to be on the November 2014 ballot as the nominee of his United Independent Party.
