Midge Potts, a co-chair for the Missouri Progressive Party and delegate to the national Green Party's coordinating committee, released a statement yesterday announcing her intent to run a non-traditional political campaign.
Potts, who previously challenged Roy Blunt in the 2006 GOP primary for his U.S. House of Representatives seat, will walk across the state to discuss important issues face-to-face with Missourians in their own communities.

She plans to win the hearts and minds of Missouri's voters by walking and biking across the state all the way up to the election in November.
Potts, a transgender peace activist, plans to make nuclear disarmament the centerpiece of her campaign. Her first walk will begin on April 10th at the American Nuclear Power plant in Fulton, Missouri, and end at the Honeywell factory (where parts for nuclear weapons are built) in Kansas City on May 1st.
