I meant to go to his first Q&A session, but it's early days yet. And I won't vote third party either - I know someone who voted for John Anderson and have never let them forget it.

And the Green Party candidate was quite outspoken here. I watched the TV debate and he annoyed me, but not nearly as much as Stefanik.

Here's a Post Star article on Patrick Nelson:
