ORLANDO, Fla. - John Morgan, the founder of the Morgan & Morgan law firm, is offering $100,000 to the person who can come up with a name for the new political party he's creating.
The contest comes about a month after Morgan announced that he would not be running for Florida governor this year.
What we know:
The Orlando-based personal injury attorney on Tuesday officially launched a contest to name his proposed third political party.
"After running two very successful constitutional amendment campaigns, I've learned that once we drop the 'D' and the 'R,' most of us agree on most issues," Morgan said in a news release. "The two-party system—the extremes to the right and the extremes to the left--is freezing us up. What we need is a third political party that can compromise with the left and the right to provide real solutions to the people."
How to submit name suggestions
What you can do:
Eligible U.S. residents can submit a party name online at namethepartycontest.com for a chance to win $100,000. Entries are limited to one per person.
Submissions will be accepted until June 2 at 11:59 p.m. A winning entry is expected to be selected around June 16.
Only entries made through the official contest website will be considered.
