Michigan Libertarians usually nominate their candidate for governor at a party convention. But this year, voters will choose the nominee. The Libertarian Party won enough votes in the 2016 elections to qualify as a major party, setting up its first-ever primary election for governor. Two candidates will be on the ballot Tuesday.
Bill Gelineau is a businessman from Grand Rapids, and twice chaired the Michigan Libertarian Party. John Tatar is a retired Livonia school teacher and an Army veteran. Both men attended Wayne State University. Both have run small businesses. And both disdain the two-party system of American politics.
Both stopped by the show during this busy time before tomorrow's primary to talk about the issues and why the people should choose either candidate for the libertarian slot on November's ballot
