'''Guy Wadsworth Riggs''' (July 1, 1923—May 20, 2017) was the first Libertarian candidate to run in New York State. In 1972, he ran for State Assembly, but failed to get enough signatures to get on the ballot. His campaign committee went on to form the [[Mid Hudson Libertarian Club]] following the end of his campaign in September 1972. He went on to Chair the committee, and by September 1973, he considered running for Governor in 1974. | '''Guy Wadsworth Riggs''' (July 1, 1923—May 20, 2017) was the first Libertarian candidate to run in New York State.
