Who is Buddy Roemer?
Charles Elson "Buddy" Roemer, III, is an American politician and banker who served as the 52nd Governor of Louisiana from 1988 to 1992, and previously as a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1981 to 1988.
Roemer was a candidate for the presidential nominations of the Republican Party and the Reform Party in 2012. He withdrew from those contests and was seeking the 2012 Americans Elect presidential nomination until that group announced it would not field a candidate in 2012 because no candidate reached the required minimum threshold of support to be listed on its ballot. Buddy Roemer endorsed Gary Johnson, a governor of New Mexico, for U.S. President in 2012.
In March 1991, while serving as governor, Roemer switched affiliation from the Democratic to the Republican Party.
