Gary Johnson Sues Over Non-Inclusion in Presidential Debates

Two years after he was the Libertarian Partys presidential candidate, former Gov. Gary Johnson of New Mexico is launching a legal challenge to the Commission on Presidential Debates for excluding him from the debates. Johnson is expected to refile his challenge in Washington, D.C., in the coming days and he continues to work with political reform groups like his Our American Initiative and the Free and Equal Elections Foundation.

Polls are showing the majority of Americans are identifying themselves as independents and that majority needs to be free to hear from all candidates, especially those candidates that truly represent the new majority, said Johnson, I will continue to fight to ensure that liberty demands a place in all presidential debates.

Johnson has left the door open to running for president as a Libertarian again in 2016.
