Liberty candidates for Senate 2012 - the definitive list

Please consider adding Bob Marshall to the list for Virginia. While Delegate Marshall is a Social Conservative, he is truly an Economic Libertarian, being the among the reasons that Virginia's lawsuit against Obamacare won. Del. Marshall sponsored and managed to get passed in both houses and signed by our Governor the Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act.

I'd love Drew Carey to run! How can we contact him and draft him?

I know! Wouldn't he be great in a debate???

We can urge Drew Carey to run for Senate in Ohio by flooding his Twitter (drewfromtv) with messages of support. Perhaps something like:
"@drewfromtv Drew! Ohio needs you! Please run for Senate in 2012!"

He's an avid Tweeter, so he'll definitely notice it if he gets enough tweets.

He also has a blog that he updates very infrequently at http://drewfromtv.blogspot.com/. We could try leaving comments there as well.
 
I tweeted Drew Carey, I hope you all do the same! He'd make an amazing Senator IMO
 
In Florida, two very establishment-y candidates are also quite libertarian. Representative Cornelius Harvey McGuiddy IV (also known as Connie Mack) and Senate President? Mike Haridopolos, who both used to run the Freedom Caucus in the Florida Senate, are likely to run for Nelson's seat.
 
What about Jim Guest in MO? Present and former (due to being term limited) state rep, founded Legislators Against Real ID, endorsed Ron Paul in 2007-8, etc.
 
INDIANA. I think we should add Richard Mourdock to liberty candidates for Indiana. Mourdock has already announced that he is running for the senate seat. He is against tarp and the bailouts. His website doesn't talk much about foreign policy and other issues. I sent an email asking about the patriot act and foreign policy and balanced budgets and such. I'll report back with responses.

wow! this is amazing, reading now...I have a fierce loyalty to Sam Rohrer in PA...doesn't Flake support the Patriot Act?

Even though Flake has voted for the Patriot Act, and even though he has been weird on immigration, it is still crystal clear that he has been the #2 libertarian in all of Congress until Amash arrived. Not only has Flake been the #2 libertarian, he compiled this record almost entirely during a Republican administration! Could we find a more pure candidate in Arizona? Sure, but considering all of Flake's electoral advantages, I would EASILY give up 1% of libertarian purity for all of the advantages he has as an incumbent congressman, name recognition, money, and essentially being 'next in line.'
 
Just seeing this list gives me joy! It makes me realize that there are in fact other people who are as passionate and pro-planning about this as me :-P. This is pretty amazing, thanks for all the work!

Btw. Kevin Cramer has announced that he will not be running in my home state of North Dakota. I would really support Bob Harms, liberty-lover and ND Tea Party Caucus founder, for the seat.
 
North Dakota:
(Very high priority for us)
Potential Liberty Candidates:
1. Public Service Commissioner Kevin Cramer (chances: ★★★☆☆ purity: ★★★★★)
Cramer has been twice elected as North Dakota state public service commissioner with nearly two thirds of the vote, but made a failed campaign for the Republican nomination for US Congress in 2010. With current Republican Sen. Kent Conrad

Sen. Conrad is a Democrat.
 
In regards to Hawaii, Rummel is an unmistakeable interventionist. I'm wondering why he's on the list..?
 


Supports withdrawal in Afghanistan and Iraq - focus on terrorism through means other than direct troop deployment. Concerned about the pat-downs and invasive security measures in the United States. Wants to work with Rand on curbing bureaucratic power.

Jason Chaffetz decided not to run in Utah, too bad he would have likely beaten Hatch in the primary.
