Washington Post - Who is Gary Johnson?

Great question that is being asked more and more these days; who is Gary Johnson?

All the attention is on the prospect of a Clinton-Trump race, but it is underreported that there may be a Libertarian entrant in this election: Gary Johnson. Who is Gary Johnson? Well, he served as the Republican governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003. He’s not a nut and he’s not manifestly dishonest, and that sets him apart from the field. He may not exactly hit the sweet spot as a third-party candidate, and I say he could never win the general election, but be on the lookout for the growing potential of the Johnson campaign after the Libertarian National Convention in Orlando in just more than two weeks. It wouldn’t take much for his candidacy to make a difference in a close race.
