Gary Johnson, who is running for president as a member of the Libertarian Party, will campaign in Minnesota on Friday. Johnson's campaign announced that he will speak at Macalester College and will hold a question and answer session at the school.
Johnson was governor of New Mexico from 1995-2003. He was as a Republican until December of 2011 when he switched parties and became a Libertarian. As the Libertarian candidate, Johnson will appear on the ballot in all 50 states.
Johnson has won the backing of former Gov. Jesse Ventura, who recently campaigned for him.
