While often an after-thought in presidential elections, third-party candidates could shake things up this year.

The 2016 presidential campaign seems to have a negative vibe surrounding it, leaving voters considering other options.

George Stockburger, a Penn State senior, is a registered Republican, but supports Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.

“He was a two-term governor of a Democratic state as a Republican, so I think that’s very important,” Stockburger said.

Stockburger said he was drawn to the Libertarian Party at the beginning of his college career.

Most Libertarians favor the party’s ideology: maximizing freedom and limiting the power of free government.

Stockburger phrases it differently: “stay out of my bedroom, stay out of my pocket.”

Latest poll numbers put Gary Johnson at his highest numbers ever–13%.

Supporters hope to see him on-stage in the presidential debates; however, rules from the Commission on Presidential Debates states a candidate needs 15% to participate.

“American people deserve other choices, other ideologies because there are all kind of different kinds of ideologies,” Steve Kim, the president of Penn State’s Young Americans for Liberty said.

The Libertarian Party formed in the early 1970s.

Libertarians believe the country has evolved to the point where the country doesn’t have to rely on voting for candidates who are part of the Democratic and Republican parties.

“A lot has changed over 200 years, I think there’s plenty of room for a third or fourth party that can bring different ideas and include everyone in the discussion,” Stockburger said.
