From Eric Dondero:

Bruce Olsen is the leading candidate for Governor of Arizona on the Libertarian Party ticket. He describes himself as from the rightside of libertarians. And he has offered a unique perspective on the raging immigration controversy.

In a statement released to Libertarian Republican, Olsen commented:

My position regarding the legalization of Marijuana is derived from several points. First, 30 years of watching and listening to this phony "War On Drugs", second the methods used by the cartels to transport it across our southern border and the human tragedies that result on the desert floor. And I could go on and on as to why prohibition on marijuana has had no more of an effect than the prohibition on alcohol had in the 30's and 40's . So lets stop wasting billions of taxpayer dollars on a failed policy. Lets end the ability of cartels use of illegals in the transportation of pot across the border. In short if I'm elected I will encourage and sign a bill properly drafted that would legalize the growing and the selling of marijuana in the state of Arizona. And make no mistake , I am a Constitutional Conservative Libertarian.

Olsen was converted to the Libertarian Party from standard conservatism by Wayne Root, after meeting him a Pro-Taxpayer Rights conference and subsequently reading his book "Conciense of a Libertarian." Now Olsen describes himself as a "Ronald Reagan libertarian."
