A Libertarian hat in the 20th ring

The Adirondack Daily Enterprise profiles the third option in the fast-moving 20th district special election: Libertarian Eric Sundwall from Columbia County.

He’s chairman of the Libertarian Party of New York. Here’s Nathan Brown’s treatment in the ADE:

Sundwall is an information technology consultant who lives in Niverville in Columbia County with his wife and two children. He produces and hosts the cable-access television program “Capital Outsider.”

The paper quotes Sundwall’s press release, in which he argues that “the people of the 20th District are tired of the machine politics of a smoke-filled room.”

Sundwall failed to make the ballot in 2006 and will have to gather 3500 signatures to make the cut this year.

He’ll face Democrat Scott Murphy and Republican Jim Tedisco.

How will a third option affect the race? Comments welcome.
