In the race for Florida's governor, Gov. Rick Scott and former Gov. Charlie Crist are the front runners with household names, but Adrian Wyllie, the Libertarian candidate is close to a double digit percentage of votes, according to the last two Quinnipiac polls. <\/p>\n
There are actually five candidates on the ballot. <\/p>\n
Glenn Burkett has no party affiliation and is a self-described wellness and fitness innovator and educator. <\/p>\n
Farid Khavari was born in Iran, but moved to the U.S. from Germany in the '70s. He is an economist and environmentalist with no party affiliation. <\/p>\n
Of the three relative unknown's, Wyllie is the only one to make a mark in the polls. <\/p>\n
\"We want to get government out of your wallet, out of your bedroom, out of your body, and out of your business,\" Wyllie said in an interview earlier this week with Local 6 sister station WJXT in Jacksonville. <\/p>\n
It has become one of his go-to lines since he is in favor of smaller government. <\/p>\n
\"It's a simple concept. We want to put an end to the corruption and the cronyism getting back to true free market principles, not like we have today,\" he said. <\/p>\n
Wyllie said he has been campaigning around the state. <\/p>\n
\"Were out there working just as hard, if not harder, than Rick Scott and Charlie Crist on the campaign trail. Were traveling from Pensacola to Key West.\" <\/p>\n
