Journalistic Inclusiveness

On March 8th, 2022 Sarah Taddeo published an article in the Poughkeepsie Journal titled, "New York governor's race: Here's everything you need to know about who's running." Though the Dutchess County Libertarian Party applauds Ms Taddeo's inclusion of lesser known candidates, it is grossly negligent to omit a candidate who polls higher than the candidates mentioned.

Larry Sharpe polls at 6% according to a Zogby poll released January 2022. That was even before he officially declared on FoxBusiness with Kennedy, syndicated nationally on February 17th. Besides the numerical facts, many observers recognize that Larry Sharpe is the only candidate with enough cross-over appeal to be viable in a state 3-to-1 Democrat, a quality conspicuously lacking in the Republican front-runners.

We call on Sarah Taddeo and the Poughkeepsie Journal to follow through on their admirable efforts at inclusiveness to present voters with accurate information about the candidacy of Larry Sharpe!
