Larry Sharpe is a Husband, Father, Marine, Entrepreneur, Teacher and Political Activist. His mission is to help people find happiness through community and purpose, often by overcoming bad policy decisions in government. He ran for Governor of New York twice. In his first run, he achieved third-party ballot access with about 100,000 votes. Then, the state changed the rules and took that away. Larry built a coalition for ballot access between the Libertarian Party, Green Party, and Forward Party. He supports Ranked Choice Voting, and tried to stop one party rule in New York, which encourages corruption and districts where people run unopposed due to the corrupt power of gerrymandering. He sued for ballot access in federal and state court multiple times and was denied by a system that favor the status quo.
