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

[MichaelDavis]

Remove everyone for US House and Senate in Texas.

We got wrecked.

EDIT: Maybe there is some hope, Brian Babin TX-36 has a ~3 star RLC survey. http://www.babinforcongress.com/

Did Streusand submit a survey? He's openly touting what he calls "Tea Party Values". I asked him which Congressman he agreed with most and he said Ted Poe.

Streusand has failed to submit a survey to CFL and RLC.

That's not necessarily a disqualifier. If I remember correctly, Medina didn't either.

Special election is on Thursday.

We must stand by our allies who fight with us against terrorist cells around the globe, and allies like Israel who advance stability and freedom in increasingly unstable regions.

Blech.

I was really hoping Annette Bosworth could overcome her personal financial obstacles, but after this weekend, it appears she cannot keep her personal issues separated from her campaign. If she gains any traction, she'll be providing plenty of ammunition for the Dems to use against her, so you might as well take her off the list.

A real shame, but it's not worth telling people to support candidates that are inundated with bad baggage.

Rounds is a shoe-in in South Dakota.

I would say Bryan Smith is at least a three star. Endorsements:
Club for Growth PAC
FreedomWorks PAC
Citizens United Political Victory Fund
The Madison Project
National Association for Gun Rights
Young Americans for Liberty Action Fund PAC

He has specifically called out Simpson on his pro-NSA votes and cites Amash and Labrador as two congressmen he would emulate if elected:

He has committed to a humble foreign policy and convinced Liberty Action PAC (run by YAL) of the following things he will support if elected:

I honestly think if he gets to congress he will be 4-5 star.

Maybe you could turn some of the stars a different color to show a Rand endorsement? e.g.
Greg Brannon (R) - (purity: ★★★★★)

Maybe a different color for Ron, Rand, Amash, YAL Liberty Action Fund and FreedomWorks?

So if someone was endorsed by all 5:

Plumber Joe (R) - (purity: ★★★★★)

I'd consider Blue for Rand endorsees. I don't see the point in adding organizations to the stars however.
