One of Vermont’s gubernatorial candidates says, jokingly, that if he wins, he will give out “mofongo” to celebrate – that’s Spanish for a Puerto Rican mashed fried plantain dish.
Dan Feliciano is the Libertarian Party nominee who is running on a platform that is, in a way, a mofongo of Republican and Democrat positions on various issues.
The New York-born business consultant cites as priorities cutting taxes, bringing down spending, retaining businesses, and legalizing marijuana, among other things.
“My platform is 80 percent of the Democratic platform and 80 percent of the Republican platform,” Feliciano said to Fox News Latino.
His campaign website says he strongly believes “that the government should not interfere with our personal freedoms … People should be empowered AND accountable to live the lives they chose.”

I hope to have some of that mofongo at the victory celebration.
Mr. Feliciano looks like an excellent candidate. Excellent work by him and the Libertarian Party of Vermont!
