In the past few months, the Virginia gubernatorial race was looking bleak. It was a choice between Ken Cuccinelli and Terry McAuliffe, or, as theRichmond-Times Dispatch put it, Sauron vs. Spongebob.Reason.com tactfully renamed the article, Virginia loses no matter who wins the governor’s race.
On April 21st, the Libertarian Party of Virginia nominate nominated Robert Sarvis for governor. He has earned degrees in mathematics from Harvard University and the University of Cambridge, a J.D. from N.Y.U. School of Law, and a Master’s in economics from George Mason University. And he has a diverse professional background, with experience as an entrepreneur and small-business owner, a software engineer and mobile-app developer, a math teacher, and a lawyer. Today, I’m excited to announce that that is no longer the case.

An excerpt from Sarvis’ campaign website, indicates his motives for running.

Rob is running for Governor because Virginia deserves intelligent, economically literate leadership that supports marriage equality and emphasizes freedomfree markets, and the rule of law. While the Democratic and Republican parties have put forward candidates that are terribly wrong for Virginia, Rob is committed to principled governance that protects individual rightsabhors cronyismfosters competitive markets in educationwelcomes immigrants with open armsrecognizes marriage equality, and understands the government’s fiduciary duties toward its citizens.
