And despite the Barr fiasco, Brown says he welcomes Tancredo into the race. “As a third party candidate, he’s really shining a light on the fact that it’s the two-party system that’s broken. I also like it because he’s a conservative guy who opposes the drug war. As a Libertarian, I get tired of being viewed as the pot party.”
Brown doesn’t have any illusions about his chances for governorship, however. Instead, he says that his campaign’s success will be measured by a different metric.
“The main reason that I’m running is to encourage both Republicans and Democrats to be better Libertarians. I want Democrats to understand and embrace the principles of the free market and Republicans to abandon their socially conservative platform,” he says.
And like approval voting, you won’t hear most of Brown’s ideas discussed by the two mainstream parties. If elected, Brown says he would abolish state income taxes. He’s also an advocate for the abolition of what he calls the “sex, drugs and rock and roll laws” that currently regulate marijuana and prostitution.
