United States of America — American Independent PartyCandidate for President

John Richard “J.R.” Myers has been active in community affairs since an early age. He has served on countless non-profit boards of directors. He has chaired numerous political groups and parties. He has run several campaigns for public office. He has served on local government boards. He holds two masters degrees, one in Human Services, the other in Professional Counseling. He is a licensed Counselor in Alaska and Montana. He also holds a Master of Addiction Counselor credential and currently serves as the Behavioral Health Director of the Glacier Community Health Center in Cut Bank, Montana.

Now, in his continuous pursuit of Constitutionally based government and to, ‘Restore the Republic’, J.R. has helped to found the national Life and Liberty Party and decided to run as a candidate for President of the United States in 2020.

J.R. has already been campaigning in Alaska and Idaho, and plans on events in California, Montana and Arkansas soon. He has a website (JohnRichardMyers.com), Facebook Page, Twitter account and YouTube channel. He has given several interviews, and looks forward to more, as well as to any and all debates. He hopes to be on at least enough state ballots to reach the theoretical thresold of Electoral College Victory at 270, and to establish the Life and Liberty Party as the vehicle for those Americans who want real political change.

The L&LP has already obtained 2020 ballot access for its Presidential candidate in Arkansas, and will be seeking ballot access in more states. Additionally, J.R. has agreed to be placed on the CP Virginia ballot petition as a place holder candidate for Vice President. J.R. is scheduled to debate five other candidates in Boise on February 29. All are seeking the Constitution Party of Idaho ballot line. J.R. will also appear in the March 3, 2020 California primary election ballot as a candidate of the American Independent Party. This will be followed by his appearance on the Constitution Party of Idaho primary ballot on March 10.  In 2016, he won three counties in California and came in second place in Idaho, eventually being nominated as the CP ID candidate for Vice President of the United States on the Copeland/Myers ticket.
