His website is www.independencemovement.org, at the time of publication, no Facebook or Twitter account were provided. He can be reached via email at andersontribe10@yahoo.com.

Here are Farley’s answers to my absurd questions:

1)      How long have you lived in Utah and what made you move here in the first place? I am a life-long Utah native and I choose this state because having traveled extensively the U.S. this is the greatest State in the Union. People really care here and terrain is unsurpassed.

2)      What does your family look like (married; kids; pets)? My family looks like a party, (not that kind of party). With ten children and my third grandchild on the way, there never is a dull moment and always something happening.

3)  What do you drive? What is your dream vehicle? I drive an old pickup truck or and old ford escort depending on needs. To me a car is a tool to get from one place to another and to haul people and stuff. At least, that is what I tell myself as long as I have other priorities. My dream car is a newer pickup or a newer economy car.

4)      What was the last book you finished? My last book I read from cover to cover was a biography of James Madison.

5)      What is your favorite store and/or restaurant in your district? My favorite store is Smith and Edwards’s Surplus and Sporting Goods store. I really like to find a new use for something discarded or make something out of something else.

6)      Turn your head to the right, what do you see? To the left my wife is sleeping on the couch waiting for me to finish. She just read to the little ones. To my right the door to our bedroom is open and it is inviting me to call it a night.

7)      In 25 words or less, explain why you are running as Unaffiliated. The E-signatures battle we won opens the political process and can give the referendum and initiative process back to the people of our state.

8)      Who would win if a bear and a shark fought each other (feel free to explain)? If a bear and a shark were fighting the winner would be the event promoter as this would not be a natural spectacle.

9)      In 50 words or less, explain why you want to be a public servant. “One of us” has to do this or we will continue to have government run by “them”. My Father ran against Bob Benet and I saw ugliness in old boy establishment that is not furthering the interests of the people of our state. Time for a change.

10)  What was the last cultural event you went to? The last cultural event I attended was a concert put on by a university group my son was in.

11)  What are the three things you plan to fight for when elected? The three things that I plan to fight for if elected are; individual and state sovereignty and reducing the size and cost of government.

12)  Do you know what OMGWTFBBQ stands for? No

13)  What is the most important amendment in the Bill of Rights? I think the 9th amendment may be the key most needed at this time so that the government won’t disparage.

14)  What is your favorite band? The Band-Aid, as it fixes owies.

15)  If you could change one thing about your district, what would it be? Since this is a statewide race what I would change about the state would be a political process that is more open, participatory, and more about issues and protecting the rights of citizens than who wants the job and who can sell off enough influence to buy an election.
