BJ Lawson - Is he running again in 2012?

[AdamT]

Anyone know if he's said anything?

I'd be interested in knowing that. Or having him move to a state like... is it North or South Dakota where the Dem Senator is retiring? We could do something there.

How about helping Glen out in the NC State House instead?

Unfortunately, he's running for the Libertarian nomination for president. I say unfortunately, as since he made this decision the incumbent District 2 U.S. Represenative has announced that he will retire from the House. It would have been nice to know this earlier.

So, B.J. is looking to do better than Barr, and we're trying to figure out who to run for the vacant seat.

EDIT: Hoo boy, what a brain fart. I can tell B.J. Lawson from R.J. Harris. Yes I can.

I must have slept some in the last three years. Sorry. I don't have a clue what Lawson is up to...

After the general election he wrote this:

So what comes next?

I called David Price last night -- unfortunately I wasn't able to speak with him personally, but I left a message on his voicemail.

I congratulated him on winning re-election. Then I told him that while I was willing to concede this election, I am not willing to concede our country.

I will see him again in 2012.

Also, according to FEC reports, his Lawson for Congress is still active and filing quarterly reports. It's not clear if it's left over from 2010 or if it's active for 2012.

Have the results of NC redistricting been made public yet?

Bump for Lawson info. I emailed him, haven't heard back yet.

 

[Austin]

I've heard rumors that he might run for a higher office later on.

 

[libertybrewcity]

he needs to run for state house...i'd donate money then. third time is not a charm for this house seat

 

[Patrick Henry]

I was going to post this same question today! I sure hope he runs. He seems to be as principled as the good Dr.

WOOT!!

But I wish he were willing to move to an easier district. I guess he can't with his patients being there, but he is definitely one of the best and I want to see him elected.

I really hope BJ decides to run once again, but this time in a much fairer district.

I don't think anyone in the movement is more loved than Lawson other than Ron

I received an answer from him, this is regarding his updated name tag in the For Liberty re-cut. He said to put "Entrepreneur, NC Congressional Candidate" so it must mean he's running. Nice!

Awesome. I was just thinking about Morgan Freeman.

No getting him to move to North Dakota to run for Senate?

Well, I guess that would be a major dislocation in the event he didn't win.

i think it would be a stretch for most people to just pick up their lives and move to another state just to run for office..maybe except for a college student
