“I want people, bloggers, to write about the “other” candidates more. They need to write about the candidates whom aren’t the top two. It’s the only way to level the field a little.”
The aspiring governor lounges inside a coffee shop in downtown Las Vegas, drinking juice from a bottle and explaining how his education plan will revive the state’s failing schools. He doesn’t have a bound report, or even an acronym — just a few observations from a product of the system.
Some of his points sound familiar. Funding is key, he says, because schools have been habitually shortchanged. That needs to change. But then the candidate starts talking about abolishing standardized testing. He’s in his forties, thin, bespectacled, serious — and not the guy you’re thinking of.
David Curtis is running as the Green Party’s candidate for governor. He is also, in a way, its candidate for political legitimacy and ballot access. The Greens are the smallest minor party in Nevada, with 4,154 registered members as of June, according to the Secretary of State’s office. More voters registered as “Other,” a catch-all affiliation that captures every fringe ideology from neo-fascism to crypto-anarchism.
