The Forward Party will petition to get its nominee on the ballot for Governor of Minnesota. He is Cory Hepola, a former radio talk show host in Minneapolis. The party also hopes to persuade Richard Painter to be its nominee for Attorney General of Minnesota. Separate petitions of 2,000 signatures would be needed for each. Petitioning cannot start until April.
The state chair of the Forward Party of Minnesota is John Denney, who was formerly an Independence Party nominee for Congress.
Forward to what ??? — more communism in MN ???
According to Larry Sharpe they will also be petitioning to get him on their own line for Governor of NY. NY has fusion voting and Sharpe says he plans on being on 3 separate lines (Libertarian, Forward, UniteNY)
Larry Sharpe getting ballot access with the LP label is going to be extremely difficult. Getting on with 3 party labels is something I am very skeptical he will achieve. Under NY’s horrible ne ballot access law, he may not make it at all.
A spoiler candidate in MN
I agree with Andy. Larry Sharpe should focus all of his energy and resources on qualifying exclusively as the Libertarian Party’s candidate for governor.
New York’s Cuomo-inspired new ballot access law — one of the most draconian in the nation, especially in terms of ballot retention — will be difficult to overcome once, let alone three times in the same election cycle.
While well-intentioned, the Forward and UniteNY parties will most likely be a distant memory a decade from now.
On the other hand, the scrappy and time-honored Libertarian Party, consistently battling an increasingly authoritarian government and the increasingly intrusive corporate entities that fund the politicians who run that government, will be with us forever — and that’s a good thing, a very good thing.
I guess we’ll see how politically sharp Larry is in the weeks ahead.
Great Leap Forward Party is #1 party on the USA, go on all ballots.
