SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney has added her name to the Utah ballot.

She acknowledges that it's unlikely she'll win in a race dominated by the Republican and Democratic nominees, but says it's still important for Green candidates to run.

She says he wants to provide voters with a choice that reflects their values.

McKinney left the Democratic Party in 2007 after serving six terms as a Georgia Congresswoman.

McKinney says she was drawn to the Green Party because it values grassroots democracy, environmental wisdom, social justice and peace.
