"Gary Johnson is far from being a household name, but perhaps he should be. The Libertarian Party candidate for president and former two-term Republican governor of New Mexico is only polling at 5.3% nationally. Yet a review of Johnson’s record of successful governance is impressive. In his eight years as governor, Johnson cut taxes, balanced the budget, reduced the size of government, increased funding for education and built hundreds of miles of highway in the state – often while working with a state legislature completely controlled by Democrats." http://guardianlv.com/2012/08/why-am...-gary-johnson/
