<\/a>Immigration biggest issue in the Race<\/strong><\/p>

The Libertarian Party of Arizona now has a hotly contested primary for Governor. Four candidates have filed. And at least two of the four are Right Libertarians. They are being challenged by a hardline Leftwing Libertarian. <\/p>

The Arizona Republic<\/a> featured third party candidates, July 10:<\/p>

Arizona's third-party candidates, representing the Libertarian and Green parties, hope to tap into voter frustration over the economy and the state budget to win election to the Governor's Office.<\/p>

Although they face an uneven contest that heavily favors their more well-known and well-financed Republican and Democratic opponents, the candidates believe their alternatives for solving some of the state's biggest fiscal issues will appeal to disenchanted voters.<\/p>

\"If we could ever pull off a Jesse Ventura here in Arizona, it is this year,\" said Alvin Ray Yount (photo - left), a Libertarian candidate for governor, referencing the former governor of Minnesota who won an election as a third-party candidate. \"People in this state are pissed.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>

Hess calls Yount and Olsen \"Carpetbaggers\"<\/strong><\/p>

<\/a>From Yount's profile:<\/p>

Yount, who used to be a Republican, said he became disaffected with both parties about 10 years ago.<\/p>

As governor, Yount said his biggest priorities would be improving the state's economy and securing the border with Mexico.<\/p>

To prevent illegal immigrants from coming into the state, Yount said, he would use those arrested to finish building the border fence.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Also featured Bruce Olsen (a favorite of this website):<\/p>

Bruce Olsen, a semiretired pilot and former businessman from Overgaard, joined the Libertarian Party in April 2009 after deciding he was too conservative for the Republican Party.<\/p>

Olsen said the two biggest issues facing the state are securing the border and fixing the state's economy.<\/p>

He wants to place more National Guard troops along the border to stop people coming into the country illegally.<\/p>

He also wants to stimulate the state's economy by granting tax cuts to promote agriculture, creating manufacturing jobs that cannot be shipped overseas and lowering or eliminating taxes.<\/p><\/blockquote>

But perenniel candidate leftwing Libertarian Barry Hess is not pleased:<\/p>

Hess (photo - right) opposes the state's new immigration law... he sees his primary competitors as \"carpetbaggers\" who have jumped onto the party's label without truly believing in the party's message.<\/p><\/blockquote>
