Libertarian vice presidential candidate Bill Weld is stumping in Anchorage this week. Weld is running with Gary Johnson, the former New Mexico governor and two-time Libertarian presidential nominee. Weld himself is a former governor of Massachusetts.
Recent polls show the ticket pulling anywhere from 7 to 18 percent of the vote in Alaska.
One of those voters is 31-year-old Samuel Moore, of Anchorage. Moore is a financial analyst who’s active in local Republican politics. But while he voted for Mitt Romney, John McCain and George W. Bush, he says he can’t support Donald Trump.
