Henry Ross Perret.

In 1992, he announced that he was going to run for the presidency. During his campaign, he said that there'll be a balanced budget and that there'll be an end to the recession in the country.

He then contented against President Bush and Bill Clinton whom was a Democratic nominee. Even though he didn't win any electoral votes, he got about 19% of the popular votes in the country. This was considered to be among the best votes that a third party candidate has ever gotten in the country.
