As IPR reports, last Saturday, the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania unanimously nominated entrepreneur Ken Krawchuk for governor in 2014. The 60 year old Krawchuk who resides in Abington Township in Montgomery County, was the party’s 1998 and 2002 nominee for governor, receiving 33,591 (1.11 percent) and 40,923 (1.14 percent) votes respectively in each general election.
The focus of Krawchuk’s campaign includes reducing both the state income tax and government spending. Upon nomination, he attacked the Democrats and Republicans of Harrisburg alike for “continu[ing] to expand a government that’s already too large, too expensive, and too intrusive.” He added, “Libertarians are the only ones you can trust to defend the interests of the taxpayer.”
