Mike Ferguson, a prominent member of the state's Libertarian Party, announced today that he is now a Republican.
Ferguson - who ran for lieutenant governor in 2004 under the Libertarian Party banner - is a Grandview alderman. He was active in promoting Libertarian Bob Barr's 2008 presidential campaign.
"My principles and beliefs have not changed," Ferguson said in statement. "I am for cutting unneeded government spending. I am a fiscal conservative who believes that government should stay out of the private sector as much as possible. I am pro-life. I am a believer in the common-sense truth that protecting personal freedom should be the goal of government at all levels."
Ferguson also announced he is endorsing U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt's bid for the U.S. Senate.
