Libertarian candidate for governor, Larry Sharpe held a rally in Rochester on Saturday. Sharpe is a veteran and entrepreneur. His running mate, Andrew Hollister was also in attendance.

Sharpe and Hollister said it was important to visit Western New York and encourage more people to vote.

“The reality is our education program right now in New York State is a disaster. We’re spending tons of money and getting – at best – mediocre results. We have to revamp this from the bottom up. We have to get rid of standardized testing until we get into high school,” said Sharpe.

“With a good education system, people will want to come back [to New York State],” he continued.
