Libertarian Adrian Wyllie Qualifies for the Ballot

Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Adrian Wyllie made the ballot by paying a fee on Monday after raising $8,000 over three days.

A few of us were working nearly around the clock promoting the moneybomb, we were bringing in money and by Saturday afternoon we knew we would have the money to pay the fee but we had other, bigger, problems, Danielle Alexandre, Wyllies campaign manager, explained on Monday.

I read through the qualification instructions and found that the check for the filing fee had to be signed by our campaign treasurer. The problem? He was on a fishing trip, on a boat, until mid-June. Also, the forms had to be notarized, Adrian has no identification and every notary he knows is closed for the weekend. After many phone calls, we found our treasurer was staying 40 minutes south of Tallahassee and the boat came in for the night each night. Our great friend at Goin' Postal traveled over 30 miles to meet Adrian and notarize his forms first thing Sunday morning. After an afternoon campaign event in Winter Haven, we made the long trip to meet our treasurer and then arrived in Tallahassee a short time after midnight last night.

Today, all of the stress, long hours in the car, dedication of our campaign staff and the amazing supporters who donated $8,000 in those 3 days, paid off as we were first to turn in the paperwork at the Florida Division of Elections office just before 9 a.m. this morning, Alexandre continued.
