| Description | During the period June-August 2010, Josue Larose, a 30-year old resident of Deerfield Beach, Florida, created 39 new political parties, and has registered them with the Florida Secretary of State. He is state chair of all of them. None of them is running any candidates this year. Larose himself is a registered Republican. Here is a short news story about him from 2009.
Larose earlier had created and registered 160 Political Action Committees. He had been a write-in candidate for U.S. House, 19th district, in the April 13, 2010 special election, but according to official results, received zero votes in that race. He had also run as a write-in candidate in a special election for State Senate, 28th district, in the August 4, 2009 special election, and had received seven votes. He is a declared write-in candidate for Governor of Florida. He says he is also a write-in candidate for U.S. Senate, but he can’t register as a write-in for that office, because Florida won’t let anyone run for two offices simultaneously.
The bylaws for his political parties provide that the party chair be escorted by armed bodyguards at all times and that the party provide him with a limo and a private jet. |
