List of Liberty-minded Candidates for US Congress (2014)

I think it's up in the air whether or not this can be explained simply by partisanry. Maybe he did have a true change of heart, but I'm skeptical.

It's most likely genuine. Rand befriended him personally and then brought him over politically, just as Ron did with Walter Jones. If you've met Gohmert, you'll know he's a very sincere guy and never comes off as slimy or opportunistic (unlike Rubio or Gingrich).

Dan Bongino opposes CISPA, opposes indefinite detention, and supports the Amash amendment (NSA). He also stated that he opposes the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (I posted a video somewhere on this forum). He's very strong on civil liberties.

None of that was mentioned when he campaigned in Maryland. He sounded like the average militaristic Republican.

Has Bongino even showed interesting in running for senate again? I heard something about him running for governor.

I have been doing some vetting. These are the non-listed candidates in California that seem to at least lean towards our ideals. What does everyone think (and anyone from their districts have more gouge)?

Doug LeMalfa CA-1

I didn't see anything on their websites mentioning scaling back the empire, protecting our civil liberties, ending the FED, etc. So no, I won't be. They seem pretty run of the mill.

Also, from the primary debate I got the impression that he did not oppose the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, but favored withdrawing.
 
I don't know enough about him, but Greg Raths is running for Congress in California's open 45th district. Raths is a 30 year Marine veteran, achieving the rank of Colonel. He frequently posts on the libertarian-Republican group Republican Liberty Caucus. gregraths2014.com

If I recall, he flunked twice or maybe even thrice when I asked him which Congressmen he would emulate.
 
Why is Hannosh a 4 star? His site suggests he's a 5 star candidate, given he openly says he's a Ron Paul supporter and wants a non-interventionist foreign policy.
 
Lee Bright is no longer a speculative candidate.

Tisei is still speculative.

Art Robinson is virtually out of the Senate race at this point, given he has a new position as the Chairman of the Oregon Republican Party.

Mack is virtually out too because he isn't in FL-14 any more. The old FL-14 is the current FL-19, Radel's district.

Stace Nelson (running as a Republican for Senate in South Dakota, probably a 5 star since he was a Ron Paul supporter):
