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

[Vanguard101]

I would do it...We should really update it for candidates with a decent chance...

The only solution is to turn control of the op contents over to someone that's actually regularly engaged on the forum. Not sure if that's even possible. Or a mod/admin could take over the contents and update it.

The list is still being edited regularly.

edit - If I missed anyone, let me know.

If you're the official default admin and you're looking for a convenient results site, I like realclearpolitics.com.

Brogdon is out in OK senate, FYI.

Help him out by posting. This is a forum, so relying on one guy is time-consuming. Crowdsourcing is the way to go. We maintain a website that can help.

Jim Rubens lost for US Senate from NH. FYI.

So did anyone win the Republican nomination that is at least Ted Cruz-level purity?

Sadly, I don't think so. At least no one in position to contend.

Which is really unfortunate. We had so many candidates who came close. Milton Wolf, Chris McDaniel, Joe Miller, Greg Brannon. I hope they run in 2016 for something.

On the bright side, a lot of really good House candidates won their primaries. I think more liberty minded Congressman will be elected than in 2010 and 2012 combined.

I know Cotton said some terrifying stuff awhile back but I don't rememeber what now.

Corruption of blood was probably the worst.

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

I didn't realize you were such a big Bill Cassidy fan.

Tom Cotton is very fiscally conservative. He has voted against the Omnibus, Farm Bill, Debt Limit Extension, Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act, etc. He has a 92% FreedomWorks score for 2014. Jeb Hensarling, who Justin Amash backed for Majority Leader, received the same score.

Mark Pryor is no bleeding-heart liberal. You would have to be blind to not see that Tom Cotton would be a clear improvement over Mark Pryor in the U.S. Senate.

Cotton is a Bill Kristol clone on foreign policy. War does more to grow the state and destroy individual liberty than anything else.

 

[Tywysog Cymru]

Tom Cotton is probably the most dangerous candidate running for Senate in America. He is 14 years younger than Pryor and unlike Pryor he will actually have an influence on his party.

Is this stickied? It should be. It would be very helpful for others to see this at the top of the page of the Liberty candidates and keep it updated.

It was usually near the top. Anyways, tonight's election night so we will see how it all went.

Leah Cole retained her State Rep seat in Peabody, so there's that. Close race.

Cole garnered 7,264 votes to Dunne’s 6,829 to retain her seat in Peabody’s 12th Essex District on Tuesday. The district covers Ward 1 to 4 and two precincts in Ward 5 of the city. According to the City Clerk's office, 561 ballots were left blank.

So can anybody determine based on who was on the list originally who won & lost and if it was a net gain or net loss for the liberty movement?

 

[South Park Fan]

Pickups: Loudermilk, Blum, Poliquin, Emmer, Walker, Love, Brat, Mooney, potentially (although unlikely) Didier, DeMaio, Bongino
Sorry to see you go: Broun, Stockman, Bentivolio

Net: +5 to +8

Didier would have been amazing, a shame he's losing.

He's behind like 1% with 60% in, not sure why all the panic on here and on Twitter.

I haven't seen it mentioned here, but Aumua Amata knocked off her Democrat incumbent who was going for his 14th consecutive term.

Daily Paul: This Surprisingly Refreshing Polynesian Lady Wants to Return the GOP, "Party of the Big Tent" to its Conservative Roots.

Many Americans don't know that there is such a place as the US Territory of American Samoa, or that American Samoa sends a Delegate to the House of Representatives. Amata Aumua Coleman Radewagen is the GOP candidate for that office, and as a long-time Republican she is the 5th ranking member in seniority in the Republican National Committee, and the National Chairwoman to the RNC from Am. Samoa.

Amata is a small government, traditional values, constitutional rights, fiscal conservative, grassroots political activist.

She is basing her campaign on Five Principles that resonate with "Ron Paul Republicans"

Aumua Amata is our new Delegate to the U.S. House

Congrats!
