Quentin Carter

Dr. Quentin Michael Carter (born April 30, 1907) is an American businessman and political activist from Arizona. He is the nominee of the American Liberal Party for President of the United States in the 1948 United States presidential election.

Early life and education
Quentin Carter was born in Tucson to Peter and Elizabeth on April 30, 1907. His residence in Tucson has been interrupted only once, when he decided to pick up sticks and move to Phoenix in order to be educated at the University of Arizona, where he earned a PhD in History, and married Amalie Carter Sr.

Entry into politics
In 1942, Carter contested Arizona's at-large congressional district as a Democrat. He came 3rd with 12.3% of the vote, being unable to get one of the two available seats.

However, this did not deter Carter, as he decided to run for President in 1948 after the end of World War II and the transition to the Third Republic as made by President Earl Warren.
