Politics

In 2003 Tracy stood as one of 135 candidates in the California gubernatorial recall election on an independent platform,[14] receiving 729 votes.[15] His campaign was adopted by the BBC Sunday morning radio show Broadcasting House where each week the presenter Eddie Mair would phone him for an update on how the race was progressing. On the day of the election Mair flew to California to meet with Tracy in person, only to find that the candidate had gone to Dubai during the final week of campaigning.[16]

Brian Tracy has been a trustee of the influential Conservative Think-Tank The Heritage Foundation since 2003 [17].

gollark: Can I d othat?
gollark: I'll leave it for a bit so <@!160279332454006795> can review it as they said they would, and then just stick it up and hope it hasn't got any bad loopholes.
gollark: I see. Maybe he should be RVPed.
gollark: It's possible. Presumably if I used an encoding which it was actually possible for other people to decode this would not be the case.
gollark: Not really. If I have a UTF-16 document with valid grammar/spelling and I convert it to UTF-8, the grammar/spelling is not altered.
