List of liberty-minded candidates for state and local offices

[malkusm]

We have a thread for the Congressional candidates - I figured I'd start one for the state/local candidates as well. We need as many elected officials as possible who are knowledgeable about the 10th Amendment and the proper hierarchy of government!

Post here or shoot me a PM if you have any additions - I'm sure I'll have a lot to fill in, to start. I'd like to make this as comprehensive as possible

Wonderful! +rep. This is what we needed.

 

[malkusm]

Note, I've just been going through and consolidating the candidates mentioned in other threads in this subforum....I can't vouch for the purity of these candidates, and I typically don't know when primaries are for these races or whether some of the candidates have lost primaries between then and now...

Will take all the help I can get!

Thanks for doing this!

Fabulous! This should be sticky noted or something like that on the front of this page.

[Jonathan Stickland]

FYI I won my race with 61% of the vote, we are headed to Austin Texas!

Congrats again State Rep-Elect Strickland!!! I believe you will easily win the election since your only opponent is a so-called Libertarian (really...why doesn't he just get out???)

 

[mczerone]

Don't forget me!

Michigan-
Washtenaw County Prosecutor (Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area)
Justin Altman (L) http://www.altmanforprosecutor.com

Note: I'm running as a Libertarian, but since there are no R's running, I'm the only challenger to an unpopular D incumbent.

Kristopher Moutray - GA House District 161

We may want to add when the Primaries are if there is one for a candidate.

Primary is July 31 for GA. Moutray does have an establishment challenger. The challenger is buddy buddy with the establishment governor.

Dwon LittleJohn is running for Jackson County (MO) Sheriff under D party. He isn't quite all the way there yet, but I spent about an hour talking with him a couple weeks ago and hes got a great head on his shoulders, is definitely liberty minded, and is up against a total douchenozzle. He could certainly use our help.

[malkusm]

Thanks for all the additions! Will update later this evening (I'm working for a couple more hours). Exciting to see so many candidates!

 

[Dissent]

Sounds like a good addition to me. I met him today and got some bumper stickers,yard signs and cards to hand out...

 

[malkusm]

Updated!

We may want to add when the Primaries are if there is one for a candidate.

Added this at the top of each state which has a primary. Also included the registration deadline, in case anyone is an (L) and needs to switch to (R) for the primary (although hopefully this isn't so much an issue at this point!).

 

[Spoa]

After getting in touch with a wise and knowledgeable person )) who vouched for the good heart and liberty mind of these two men, I encourage the names of Matt Krause for Texas State House 93 and Giovanni Capriglione for Texas State House 98 be added to the list.

According to my source, Mr. Capriglione is very,very liberty-minded, while Mr. Krause is not perfect but will still fight for liberty values.
