Scott Jeffrey declares "The Jeffrey for Governor campaign is fighting to empower youth by providing them a voice in politics. The reason young New Yorkers are politically apathetic is because they don't see candidates with whom they identify, who speak their language, and who fight for issues relevant to their lives. My campaign is actively recruiting other young activists to run for office. We need leadership ready to represent." His VoteJeffrey.com website features a how-to page "Ever Dream of Running for Office? 2002 Is Your Chance!" NY Libertarian Chair Richard Cooper salutes the effort to bring young activists into the Libertarian Party, "I started as a Libertarian activist in high school, and am thrilled to see this youth initiative." Jeffrey, 33, is the founder of Legalize (www.legalize.com) advocating marijuana legalization and and develops software for a major media corporation. He is a Princeton graduate and lives on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Scott Jeffrey runs for Governor as a Libertarian advocating school choice, youth empowerment, marijuana legalization and an 18-year drinking age. Jeffrey has run for office twice-- for U.S. Congress and for Manhattan Borough President--before seeking the nomination for Governor. His goal is to obtain 50,000 votes, which would give New York Libertarians official party status. To learn more, Jeffrey has a campaign website www.VoteJeffrey.com.
