WATCH: Idaho Libertarian Critical of State’s Gay Marriage Ban

Idaho’s Libertarian candidate for governor, John Bujak, is getting some attention for his opposition to the state’s ban on gay marriage.

“Government needs to be as limited as possible, and I don’t think government should be in the business of telling people how to make choices in their lives,” Bujak said in an interview with Local News 8 in Idaho Falls.

Bujak is the wild card in the governor’s race. A former Republican who was elected as Canyon County’s prosecutor, his background is somewhat colored by allegations of corruption. Bujak says they were politically-motivated attacks from a corrupt Republican machine. Forced to defend himself in five criminal trials during the past three years, the Libertarian nominee was acquitted each time.
