Bobby Kearan
Bobby Kearan was a hopeful Reform candidate for Governor of Mississippi in the 2011 elections. Kearan and Shawn O'Hara both claimed to represent the Reform Party, but a September ruling by the Mississippi State Board of Elections recognized O'Hara as the sole official party candidate. As a result, Kearan's name did not appear on the 2011 general election ballot.[1]
