Tresa McAlhaney, Libertarian, declares candidacy for governor
By NICK SLOAN, nick@kansascitykansan.com
KANSAS CITY, KAN. --- A Bonner Springs, Kan., woman will be running for the Libertarian Party's nomination for governor in the 2014 election.
Tresa McAlhaney declared her intent to run yesterday and has filed with the State of Kansas to run in next year's governor's race.
"I am running to give the people of Kansas a choice of ideas and not to just vote for the lesser of two evils," McAlhaney said in an interview with The Kansas City Kansan.
Born in Topeka, Kan., McAlhaney doesn't have too much political experience, but has worked in numerous fields, including management, retail sales, substitute teacher and restaurant manager. She's currently the Wyandotte County Chair for the Libertarian Party of Kansas.
Two common themes of her campaign: Spreading the message of liberty and simplifying government.
On education, McAlhaney believes the discussion needs to include as many people as possible.
"The current education policy in Kansas is too restrictive," she said. "We want to go straight to the teachers. We're not getting a return on investment and we'll cut out some red-tape."
