PALM HARBOR, FL – Adrian Wyllie, the Libertarian challenger in race for Florida Governor, announced today that he has been formally invited to the "Decision 2014: Before You Vote" debate to be held on October 15th at Broward College.

Libertarian Adrian WyllieThe debate, hosted by Leadership Florida and the Florida Press Association, is being billed by the organizers as "the most respected televised debate in modern Florida history." Though this event is only one of the six announced Florida Gubernatorial debates, it is the first to have been confirmed by the Scott, Crist and Wyllie campaigns.

"Mr. Wyllie, thank you for devoting yourself to public service," said J. David Armstrong, Chair of Leadership Florida, "We look forward to a great exchange of ideas at this important debate."

"We are pleased that Leadership Florida and the Florida Press Association has extended this invitation to us, and have acknowledged that there is a viable third option in this race," said Wyllie. "I gladly accept their invitation without preconditions."

Wyllie's inclusion in this debate may cause the major-party frontrunners to call a temporary ceasefire in their seemingly endless barrage of attacks. "I intend to give straight answers to questions and offer Floridians real solutions," said Wyllie, "I just hope that Rick and Charlie can stop slinging mud for an hour or so, and discuss the important issues."
The debate organizers had previously announced that Rick Scott and Charlie Crist had accepted invitations, despite the fact that both candidates still face a primary election challenge.

Though Rick Scott's victory in the GOP primary election is essentially a foregone conclusion, Charlie Crist may still face a somewhat formidable challenge for the Democrat slot from former State Senate Minority Leader Nan Rich. Unlike Scott and Crist, Wyllie is unopposed in the Libertarian primary, and is currently the only one of the party-affiliated contenders guaranteed to be on the November ballot.

Though Wyllie has thrown a few jabs at each of the major-party candidates, he has primary focused on selling his fiscally-conservative economic plan and pro-civil-liberties policies to voters. Working on a shoestring budget by today's political campaign standards, Wyllie has been exponentially more effective than previous third-party hopefuls in getting his grassroots message to the voters.
