HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – Campaign staffers for about five independent governor
and U.S. Senate candidates around the country have unofficially joined forces.
Each Monday, members of the unofficial group participate in a conference call.
They swap ideas for everything from what works on social media to how to find
good interns.
They’ve produced a professional video featuring some of their candidates
espousing the benefits of independent candidates. There’s also a documentary in
the works.
Brady Quinn is campaign manager for Craig O’Dear, an independent U.S. Senate
candidate in Missouri. Quinn sees this group as part of a “legitimate movement”
he’s never seen before and says is much different from third party
candidates.
The campaign staffers say voters are looking something beyond the current
two-party system, given the rancor in national politics.
