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

Ron Paul pulls down the covers! This interview is a lot more than just Fed policy and Gold standards. This is the best 6 minutes & 43 seconds I've listened to in a long time! This is a **MUST WATCH**
 
Just curious: why is Pat McGeehan a 3 starer? I've been reading his work and collaborating with his campaign and haven't seen much to make him a non-pure candidate.

That's the default. His site was not very detailed originally.

I would suggest, that State Sen. Owen Hill who is running for US Senate in CO be added. He was a 2012 Delegate for Ron Paul and the issues page on his website suggests that he's really solid on liberty issues. http://www.owenhillforsenate.com/issues/

Proof of being a delegate/supporter of RP in 2012?
 
Added Kory Watkins. At this rate, we'll have a candidate in every Texas district. lol
 
I noticed that Chris McDaniel from MS is only given 3 stars. Is there a reason for that? He appears closer to a 4-5 Star to me. Does anyone have any thoughts on him? Seems like a very impressive candidate, I think he could have a pretty good shot at beating Thad

In order to obtain a 5-star, your views on every important issue have to be properly detailed. Spoa has a list of questions, if he gives you a 5-star I will as well.

The star system wasn't my idea, but I've tried to follow it to the best of my ability. 4-star is still better than 97 members of the Senate and 420+ members of the House, so don't feel bad.
 
House:

Katrina Pierson TX-32 (3 stars? Good on Syria, NDAA & NSA, should be another Labrador/Mulvaney type)

Blaine Richardson ME-2 (3-4 stars? Good on NDAA & Patriot Act)
http://blaineforuscongress.com/

Peter Konetchy MI-4 (5 stars? Ron Paul foreign policy, opposes foreign aid, even to Israel and strongly against foreign intervention)

Art Halvorson PA-9 (4-5 stars? Rand Paul foreign policy, against Patriot Act, says he's ideologically close to Amash)
http://arthalvorsonforcongress.com/

Michael McDermott NY-2 (2-3 stars? Seems strong and openly uses liberty rhetoric, endorsed by GJ, but his membership of No Labels may mean he's a fiscal liberal)

Added most of those:
Is Michael McDermott running this time as a Repub? With endorsements from minor parties, it sounds like he's still running as one of them. In which case I won't be adding him until we get closer to the election. These are for GOP primaries, mainly.

I won't add Lawson and Kuchar as we have board members in those races, and in the case of TX-4, we have a strong liberty candidate alongside that board member.

I won't add Gohmert because he's a fucking idiot and I don't want us to have any association with clowns like him. More importantly, he's guaranteed re-election. He got almost 80% last time right?

I forgot to add TX-8, I'll add him later.
 
LaMalfa is an incumbent.

Jim Rubens is a Tea Party candidate in NH, his site criticizes intervention in Iraq & Syria as well as FISA, he's known to be aligned with Forsythe in the NH legislature, potentially 2-3 stars.

Also remember to add TX 8.

So I really think Amash getting a primary challenge ought to be even more of an incentive to donate to him. Me personally, will help with what little I can, but I just handpick a few candidates that I follow in particular since, let's be honest, if any of us tried to get and donate a substantial amount to every liberty candidate, unless we have some super charge card, we'd exhaust everything we have. So for me, it's a select few like [now] Amash, Elaine Hays in Texas, Nancy Mace, Mia Love, Greg Brannon, and possibly some state candidates.
 
How did Stockman become a 5 star candidate? He's good, but there's better guys with lower scores, like McClintock.

Jurgs has these guys on his list, neither have sites, does anyone have any info on them and their positions?
