DALLAS _ The youngest brother of former President George W. Bush and one-time presidential hopeful Jeb Bush says he won't be voting Republican come November.
Rather, he says he is going to vote for Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico.
On Wednesday in an interview with a Washington, D.C., radio program, Marvin Bush said he's supporting the Libertarian cause. The news was first reported by Buzzfeed.
"I'm voting Libertarian, 100 percent, these two guys _ and nobody knows about them, people think it is sort of a wasted vote _ but, both Gary Johnson and Bill Weld were each successful, two-term governors who balanced their budgets," Bush said. Weld is a former governor of Massachusetts.
"So they're fiscally conservative and their essential message is get bureaucracy off our backs. It used to be a part of what the Republicans believed."
Bush said he wants to "have a conscience" when he votes and that he doesn't "necessarily buy" the thought that a vote for Johnson helps Donald Trump.
He was critical of both Hillary Clinton and Trump.
"I want honest leadership," Bush said. "I want proven effective people running this country and so, I want to be able to go to bed at night and so I don't really care about that."
Earlier this month, Johnson suggested that former GOP candidate Jeb Bush may be considering voting Libertarian as well.
