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

[Anti-Neocon]

That looks like a very winnable seat. It looks like the establishment might be willing to put a lot of money behind her to redefine the image of the party. She's female and vaguely Latina (Spanish-American father), and loves "immigration reform". She's also been designated as a "rising star" within the party by the MIC-controlled Republican Security Council.

For me she looks like she's worth 2 stars at best, and those stars are only because of the hearsay floating around the forums.

Jeff Gorell is running in CA-26, he was endorsed by the RLC. Would he make a good candidate? He's been very private regarding his views on the issues.

On immigration (more libertarian):
http://votesmart.org/public-stateme...me-for-gop-to-adopt-new-stance-on-immigration

Voted for more Fracking regulation, to prohibit lead ammunition for hunting, voted to appropriate funds to the Armed Prohibited Persons System, voted no to authorize immunity for reporting drug overdoses, yea to require Buy-Here-Pay-Here Car Sellers to Provide a Limited Warranty, and more...

I would have to look more into the details on some of these votes or get some concrete issue positions before I made a decision.

You can take Ron Meyer off the list. He's running for VA state senate instead.

Steve Lane TN-4 describes himself as a "socially conservative libertarian". 3-4 stars?
http://tnfullyexposed.com/2013/10/15/steve-lane-enters-4th-congressional-district-race/
http://www.stevelaneforcongress.com/

Dennis Linthicum OR-2 opposes the Patriot Act and NDAA and wants congressional declaration of war. Probably 3-4 star.
http://www.dennis2014.com/

Eric Reyes IL-17 is a foreign-policy non-interventionist, even on Iran. He supported Ron Paul in 2012. Almost certainly 5 star.
http://ericreyes.us/

Kevin Meynardie VA-2 is similar on foreign policy, calling for "peace with the world". Probably 5 star.
http://www.kevinmeynardieforcongress.com/issues/foreign_policy

John Krause FL-1 opposes intervention in Syria and believes intervention in Iraq & Afghanistan "bankrupted America". At least 4-5 stars.

Updated list

 

[Thrasymachus]

I'd think twice about adding M. Geol from Illinois' 8th. Looks to me like she's not as liberty minded as her campaign site might suggest. She was a registered Democrat.

I think the better bet for liberty is the main Republican candidate, Larry Kaifesh

But it's up for you to decide. That's liberty, after all!

 

[pulp8721]

Any reason why Dr. Milton Wolf hasn't been added? He's Obama's second cousin and is primarying Pat Roberts in KS. I think he rivals Rand and Paul Broun in the area of articulating free-market healthcare solutions.

Go To 18:20 for Milton's Interview:





Also he sent this out recently

Manju Goel, IL-8. 2 stars? Opposes infinite detention, CISPA and intervention in Syria.

Chad Mathis AL-6 works closely with local YAL groups, most likely a 3 star:

[devil21]

Matt Newton, D-NC-12 (Mel Watt's gerrymandered heavy Dem district) is worth a look. He hasn't announced another run yet but he did challenge Watt for the D nomination, and therefore the seat itself due to gerrymandering, in 2012. He's a younger guy and a fusion of Occupy and Tea Party so he's got broad appeal. No current campaign webpage is available. Here's a bio and his 2012 campaign facebook is still up.

Matt Newton NC-12 2014

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...vid-Fischer-(IA)-will-not-seek-US-Senate-seat

He is not running (David Fischer).

At this point unless Spiker is thinking about running, best shot is Matt Whitaker.

Isn't Drew Ivers still considering to run?

 

[T.hill]

I think Denny Rehberg is still considering another run in Montana, Steve Stockman has decided to run against John Cornyn and apparently in collaberation with that move Dave Norman filed to run for his district the same day. Also, should that Robert Smith guy be put on the list for NH?

Marine Combat Veteran and 2010 Marine of the Year David Vogt will be holding a Money Bomb tomorrow (November 19th). He will be giving away a personalized Marine Corps Sword and each $10 donation counts as one entry. His goal is 250 pledges of $10.

David Vogt resigned his position at the Pentagon to run for US Congress as a Republican in Maryland's 6th Congressional District. You can find more on him and his campaign at www.VogtForMaryland.com

The "Issues" Section of his website is undergoing an update, but his campaign emailed me a copy of the full Issue Positions that will be uploaded on the site sometime this week

Those Issues can be found at http://www.scribd.com/doc/185161688/David-Vogt-Issues-Update

Let's help David reach his fundraising goal!

He seems good based on his issue page.

Eric Bennett is running for US Senate in Maine, he is a 5 star candidate but a bit kooky and definitely unelectable (he regards Rand as a sellout to Ron's legacy and is openly anti-Zionist):
http://erickbennett.com/us-senate.html

David Clements is running for US Senate in New Mexico as a Republican, probably a 4-5 star candidate, has backing from Gary Johnson:

Chaffetz, Tom Graves and Yoho voted with the establishment today on the Ryan travesty budget.

Time to remove them from our list entirely?

I'd leave Yoho, this vote was a surprise. The other two I already considered gone.

Question how do you guys find all these candidates?

Question how do you guys find all these candidates?

I can only speak for myself, but I usually just check the website roll call. They post campaign announcements there every weekday.
