Libertaria­ns nominate a woman for president

- Dale Kerns Jr., Ridley Township

To the Times:

Over Memorial Day weekend, the nation’s thirdlarge­st political party - the Libertaria­n Party (according to Ballot Access News) nominated Dr. Jo Jorgensen of South Carolina to be its presidenti­al candidate in November.

Jorgensen was also on the 1996 vice presidenti­al candidate. Jorgensen has a BS in Psychology at Baylor University followed by a Master’s in Business Administra­tion from Southern Methodist University.

She earned a Ph.D. in Industrial and Organizati­onal Psychology from Clemson University. Jorgensen is also a senior lecturer at Clemson University. She is also an entreprene­ur, starting at IBM and moving to Digitech, INC as president and part owner.

Nearly 40 percent of Americans (according to CNN) want a third party to challenge the two old parties This year’s highly polarizing president and his gaffe-prone Democrat opponent - one who never got past the Iowa caucus in multiple past primary runs - hardly provide good options. With so many in desperate need of a third party and left with a good taste in their mouth from the candidates provided by the two old parties – I encourage them to check out Dr. Jo Jorgensen and her very palatable Libertaria­n message.

Her message is filled with solutions to problems every day Americans face. She believes what an American citizen does in her or his private life is up to them, as long as it does not hurt another citizen. It’s not the government’s place to state otherwise.

The number of Americans that no longer align with either the Republican or Democratic parties is growing and there is not better time to jump on the Jo Jorgensen campaign wagon.

Dr. Jo Jorgensen when it comes to domestic issues she holds fiscally responsibl­e views along with an open-minded take on social issues. She appeals to the youth vote, with nearlyy 40 percent of voters in 2020 expected to be Millennial­s this can be huge. Dr. Jorgensen being at the age of 63 she certainly knows the issues that those older than Millennial­s face on a daily basis. And in a world that claims to be ready for a woman president, Dr. Jo Jorgensen is the only woman expected to be on the ballot in 50 states.

Internatio­nally, she believes the United States should end the nation building ... then declare war on its biggest enemy, the wildly out of control national debt.

It’s pretty simple, folks. The Libertaria­n Party is running a principled woman, who is a very accomplish­ed individual. Please take the time to get to know Dr. Jo Jorgensen. She is a breath of fresh air in this very troubling political climate we have found ourselves in these days.
