Larry Sharpe is a libertarian running for Governor in New York, the election is November 6, 2018. The primaries are in a few days (9/13), but we are focused on the general in November.
If you think he doesn't have a chance, consider that he will likely be up against 5 or 6 candidates, only needs 30% to win and I believe the interview he said he was already polling 25%, or he was able to correlate something along those lines.. correct me if I'm wrong but even if we have a stronger hill to climb I believe I can make the case why this is a noteworthy cause to support.
Larry Sharpe was on Joe Rogan the other day proposing that New York retreat from the Federal Education requirements and lose $4 billion in federal education funding, returning control of education away from both Federal and State requirements to individual districts.
Losing the funding for education was a hard pill for Rogan to swallow, but he tries to follow along and also play devil's advocate during a lengthy interview he had very recently.
Larry Sharpe has a lot more good ideas about education such as ending public education at age 16 and giving them less than half ($20k of $44k) that they would spend on each student annually to attend a private prep school for college or a trade or alternative school for two years - or they can simply begin working and forego the education spending for up to 5 years.
You can see an interview with him that was over 2 hours long posted in the following thread for discussion:

Here is the interview in full:
However this why I am really interested in proposing this money bomb and why I think significant opportunity to stealthily inject libertarian politics into the national and global narrative:
Listen to 1:30:40 - 1:34:10+ of the interview above..
Joe Rogan: "$#@! your education system, this $#@! will WORK!!" (referring to getting elected on the eliminating bridge tolls in favor of corporate leasing of bridges for corporate naming rights of bridges as opposed to pushing his education reforms on the campaign trail..obviously both are good ideas but one of them is better for getting elected and unfortunately Joe Rogan got the right answer..)
Larry Sharpe proposes leasing the naming rights of bridges (i.e. the Mario Cuomo bridge) to companies like Staples, Verizon, etc.. hold them accountable for maintenance and ELIMINATE tolls.. Sharpe says he has bankers already coming to him about leasing terms.
Do you think Verizon wants to have the headline "Verizon Bridge Collapses" in the media?? $#@! no...
This guy is a genius, and Joe Rogan recognizes it and just gave him a big platform..
This could be big for libertarians, it could even possibly even result in a win, I think..
