2016 Liberty Candidates

Schweikert seems good on some issues. As stated above, he stood up to the "establishment".

Schweikart is decent, Jones might be as well. Made a point to mention she opposed the NSA during the governor race. Anybody is an improvement over McCain, getting him out should be a top priority.

There definitely needs to be a good liberty candidate in that race. An opposition to McCain neo-con ways is almost a must.

That being said, I know nothing of Schweikert nor Jones. I'd need to do me some research.

David Schweikert would be the formidable opponent, he has supported Young Americans for Liberty in the past, and was removed from his committee for challenging leadership. He has since been reinstated, as he has towed the line more so this past session, but overall he is definitely the best member of the congressional delegation.

Personally I do not see a pathway to a Christine Jones victory over John McCain, she ran an anti-establishment campaign for Governor this past election cycle, and spent millions of her own money only place a distant third I believe in the Republican primary. As was mentioned, she did make her opposition to the NSA (during her time at GoDaddy) well known throughout the campaign, and I have a lot of respect for her.
 
So how many RPF members are going to be running in this election? Those filing deadlines are going to be coming up all too quickly. It could very well be worthwhile to find out the filing deadlines in all 50 states and post them as a sticky.

February 2016 in NC for everything but President.
 
Someone likely to run for an open State Rep seat was telling me last night that the filing deadline in OK is April 2016. I have not yet confirmed this or found out the exact date. Organization for 2016 state-level candidates in OK should be underway within the next month. I have identified all of the state-level seats that will be coming open, and have now found out who the people are that have the information about what known Ron Paul supporters are in which districts. An organized effort will be made to recruit Ron Paul supporters to run for every 2016 open seat in the state.
