How about Peter Richter for Florida running for congress in Napals? He's a libertarian.
 
Patrick McKnight is running LP for NJ-7th district.

McKnight for Congress:
10 Steps to Fix America​

  1. Restore the legal supremacy of The Constitution. Restoring the rule of law means restoring freedom. Repeal the NDAA and PATRIOT ACT immediately. Repeal all unconstitutional executive orders and signing statements immediately.
  2. End the Wars. Use our military only to defend Americans. Bring our troops home from all foreign bases in 130 countries. End our military occupation of the world and instead use the money to increase veteran’s benefits and balance the budget now.
  3. END THE BAILOUTS. No more legal plunder for failing banks. Separate investment-houses from commercial lending institutions. Do not raise the debt ceiling.
  4. Bring manufacturing jobs home now. End NAFTA. Stop subsidizing the export of American jobs to foreign countries through unfair trade deals. Cut the corporate tax rate to 15%.
  5. End the Federal Reserve System. A privately-owned central bank that artificially sets interest rates, devalues our currency and manipulates prices has no place in a free market. Artificial interest rates encourage misallocations of capital and discourage saving. Issue new gold and silver-backed money to halt the inflation that is destroying the middle class.
  6. End the IRS, TSA, FEMA, DHS and Obamacare. End the Departments of HUD, Interior, Education, Energy and Commerce. Balance the budget by immediately and drastically reducing federal expenditures. Stimulate economic growth by slashing taxes.
  7. Label Genetically-Modified foods. Consumers in a free market have the right to make informed choices about the safety of the food their families put into their bodies.
  8. Let individuals decide how they want to save for retirement. Social Security is insolvent. Make paying into it optional. The more the federal government taxes and spends the more our precious productive capital is misallocated.
  9. End the war on drugs. There is no such thing as a “victimless crime” in a free society. Save taxpayers billions and discourage border violence by ending the prohibition of marijuana.
  10. Restore American sovereignty. Get the US out of the UN, NATO and other entangling alliances that make Americans less safe. Get out of the Bank of International Settlements.

TOM MCCLINTOCK (CALIFORNIA CD 4) SHOULD BE ADDED!!! He voted against CISPA, the NDAA, FOR the Amash-Smith Amendment. He votes against wasteful spending and is a wonderful congressman. I don't know why he currently isn't on the list. Please support adding Congressman Tom McClintock to be added! He is just as good as Jeff Flake.

I agree. He is at least a purity-3.

You were the first to bring him up. I agree, he should be added.
 
John Duncan is pretty good. He did vote for CISPA though. But as I've always believed, we can't let the enemy of perfect be good! If someone has done the majority of things right, he deserves our support. (My representative, Tom Graves, has done many good things. He voted for NDAA and CISPA though...but I'm not advocating his defeat.) It is repeated offenders like Bob Goodlatte, Fred Upton, Dick Lugar, Lindsey Graham that we have to send to retirement. Therefore, I support adding John Duncan to the list because he is better than more than 200 other representatives.
 
I have watched the Maryland GOP primary debates for Senate, and Daniel Bongino is definitely not a liberty candidate. He is a pro-war establishment Republican.

Who is the best candidate in that race based on the debates?

Note: Mike Lee endorsed Bongino.
