Peterson at Center of Third-party Election Drive

Six of the Americans Elect advisory board members are directors of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, chaired by Peterson and funded in part by his foundation.

Americans Elect, which has obtained access to the ballot in 25 states, plans to nominate a candidate in an online convention in June. Leading the list of declared candidates on the group’s web site is former Louisiana governor and congressman Buddy Roemer
