Evan McMullin is an independent candidate for President in the November 2016 Election.

A BYU graduate who spent 8 years working for the CIA. He is running on a decidedly anti-Trump ticket.

He promotes investment in the military, a lean simplified tax code, local control of education, and involvement in global affairs. Regarding healthcare, he promotes deregulation, but also suggests putting protections in place for those with preexisting conditions. He promotes states' rights, opposes government subsidized abortion, and expresses support for the second amendment. He promotes securing the border, and controlling immigration.

He has chosen Mindy Finn as his running-mate.[1]

In October 2016, news broke that William Johnson, an avowed white supremacist, had put together a robocalling campaign to support Trump by attacking Evan McMullin. In the robocall, William tells callers that McMullin's mother is a lesbian married to another woman and speculates that McMullin is likely gay, in part, because he is not married and he is in his 40's. Evan McMullin has denied being gay.[2]
