This Guy Is Running For President, And So Are More Than 200 Others April 03, 2015 3:45 PM ET Miles Parks Twitter "I'm doing something. You know people can complain about the government all you want, but you see very few people actually doing something," Ryan Shepard said of running for president. Sean McGinnis Scanlon/Courtesy Shepard 2016 Campaign It's not hard to reach presidential candidate Ryan Shepard. He doesn't have a media relations office or a slick-tongued press secretary. Shepard, 40, is a bartender at Roc Brewing Co. in Rochester while also working towards a bachelor's degree in creative writing at nearby SUNY Brockport. He plans to enroll in a MFA writing program after he graduates. He is also just as much a candidate for U.S. president as Ted Cruz, who was billed by many as the first and only candidate to file so far. "I'm doing something," says Shepard, when asked about his campaign. "People can complain about the government all you want, but you see very few people actually doing something. A lot of those people don't even vote." Cruz got 13,000 re-tweets when he announced on Twitter. Shepard shared a photo announcing his campaign on Facebook, and got eight likes. Shepard became a U.S. presidential candidate just two days after Cruz did, according to the Federal Election Commission. More than 200 others across the country have also filed to run for the big chair. Cruz was actually 194 th to file, according to FEC
