Transgender Candidate to Run Indy for Prez, LP for Kansas State House

ThirdPartyWatch.com

Ben Ferguson, AKA Bennie Lee “Ben” Ferguson is running for two offices: President of the United States and a state House of Representatives seat in Kansas District 104. From reading Ferguson’s state rep campaign site, I’d have never guessed that the candidate was also running for president as a transgender independent presidential candidate.

TrannyWeb interviewed the candidate; here are some excerpts:

RW: What compelled you to run for public office?

BF: In response to this question, I always say that there are both recreational and serious components in regard to my political activities. I’m a bit of a political junky and the entire business is fun for me. It has been since I was a yippie (politically-oriented hippie) in the late sixties. On the serious side, I genuinely feel that my candidacies serve in some small way to impact the political landscape, hopefully for the better. At the heart of it all is a determination to help maintain the basic civil rights and liberties we enjoy as Americans.
