Being a swing state means multiple visits from both major players running for president, but now, some of the lesser- known candidates are also bringing their campaigns to Colorado. <\/p>\n
Monday, Libertarian vice presidential candidate Judge Jim Gray made a stop at CM, rallying a small crowd to get behind his running mate, Governor Gary Johnson. <\/p>\n
Gray's speech was centered around the economy, jobs and his campaign's promise to audit the federal government. Another big topic was the legalization of marijuana and Amendment 64, something Gray called a revolution. <\/p>\n
Some undecided voters said they were happy to hear Gray bring attention to the medical marijuana debate. <\/p>\n

Libertarian house district 54 candidate Tim Menger was also at Mondays event, rallying support against embattled Republican Jared Wright. The Democrats failed to run a candidate in that race.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
