[5] Wyllie did not seek re-election when his term as LPF Chairman ended in 2013, expressing his intention to focus on the Governor's race.
[7] Wyllie is co-host and producer of the network's flagship program, Liberty Underground, which airs on four AM and one FM radio stations, and can be heard in eight states.
[citation needed] In a series of investigate reports for the 1787 Network, Wyllie was the first to reveal that Florida law enforcement agencies are now using facial recognition scans taken at the time of driver's license renewals as a source database for covert video surveillance.
This prompted the sheriffs to respond with a joint statement contending that the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution prevented them from enforcing laws against federal authorities.
On June 20, 2014, Wyllie was declared the only Libertarian running for Florida Governor in the 2014 election and was listed third on the ballot after the Republican and Democratic nominees.
Wyllie received 223,356 votes,[21] the most of any third-party candidate for governor in Florida's history,[22] but placed third in the 2014 general election behind incumbent Republican Rick Scott, who won, and Democrat Charlie Crist.
In August 2016, Wyllie published his first novel, The Cassandra Trigger, a dystopian thriller that tells the story of a working-class American family struggling to survive an economic collapse, surveillance society and police state in 2028.
