Willie Nelson Backing Gatewood Galbraith For Governor
KENTUCKY....
Willie Nelson and his newly formed Teapot Party are backing Lexington attorney and independent candidate Gatewood Galbraith for governor of Kentucky. Galbraith, who has run several times for governor, said he was “so proud to have Willie’s endorsement again. He’s been a dear friend for many years." Nelson formed the Teapot Party last November after he was arrested for possession of marijuana. He said its motto is “We lean a little to the left.” Frankfort political consultant Dea Riley, released a statement Monday saying many people have confused Galbraith’s stand on marijuana. She says he has never advocated legalization of marijuana but regulation of marijuana.
