Libertarian Candidate Robert Sarvis Airs TV Spot During Gubernatorial Debate
Excluded from the debate, the Libertarian candidate makes his case as major party candidates debate with Fairfax Chamber of Commerce.
Robert Sarvis, the Libertarian candidate for Virginia governor, aired a TV ad during the broadcast of Wednesday night's debate between Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Ken Cuccinelli.
Sarvis was not included in the event, which MSNBC commentator Chuck Todd moderated. The campaign ad aired during the debate on NBC’s Northern Virginia affiliates.
In the ad, Sarvis makes the case that he’s the candidate to pick this year, since the two major party candidates appear to have left voters feeling a lack of enthusiasm.

“Like you, I can’t vote for Ken Cuccinelli’s narrow-minded social agenda,” Sarvis says in the spot. “And like you, I don’t want Terry McAuliffe’s ‘cronyism,’ either, where government picks winners and losers.”
Sarvis' campaign slogan is, "Virginia - open-minded, and open for business," referring to his desire for an inclusive commonwealth that allows same-sex marriage.
