List of Liberty-minded Candidates for US Congress

[Nathan Hale]

Can you edit your first post so it has the cross-outs and the green purity? I only ask because this new post is liable to get buried by candidate recommendations and back-and-forth in less than a week.

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

Any more info on them? What office are they running for? Links?

Both are "Tea Party" Congressmen from GA.

http://broun.house.gov/
Broun co-sponsored Ron's Audit the Fed Bill, and was the only to co-sponsor Ron's American Sovereignty Act
2012 JBS Voting Index Score: 95
This might interest you on Broun: http://onlineathens.com/stories/090110/new_702690294.shtml

Graves also co-sponsored Ron's Audit the Fed Bill.
2012 JBS Voting Index Score: 95
Graves is anti-establishment: http://heritageaction.com/2011/10/rep-tom-graves-is-giving-the-establishment-a-headache/

Take some time to scroll through their co-sponsored bills...its a good sign that they post them on their sites.

Overall, they are not 100% Ron Paul, but they both believe in the Constitution and are the kind of people we need.

Jim Jordan is another guy I like. He is the head of the anti-establishment Republican Study Committee. Strong fiscal conservative who produced a 5-year balanced budget in response to the Ryan Budget.

Hey Matt 0611 - is there a thread for Governor candidates? We've got a real charger running in Montana and I'd like to introduce his campaign to the Ron Paul activists here at the forums. Thanks.
Salute!

Just saw an interview with him at the PA Paul rally, sounds solid from what he said live. Of course more vetting is good but wanted to share the link

Yeah, he sounds pretty solid. Already on the list

What about Mia Love? She won the Republican nomination for the 4th congressional district in Utah I scanned her issues page and seemed ok but just not sure what everyone thinks of her.

I saw her featured positively on the Facebook page of that horrible "Republican Security Council". Not a good sign, unfortunately. This group bills themself as the home for "national security conservatives". They are unabashedly pro-NDAA, Patriot Act, and every military intervention you can imagine.

The guy that lost to her was endorsed by Mike Lee.

That Primary Election is scheduled for late June (or maybe not!). Is she running as a Republican in the Primary against Wimmer? He's our five-star candidate in that race.

When was the Primary in Utah?

OK, somewhat figured it out. There is only a GOP Primary if a winner is not chosen at the GOP Convention. Winners were decided by majority for the House races at the Convention in Utah, therefore there will be no Primary for US House seats in Utah.

Look for this screwy system to be put into place in California before too long.

Why in the world does Georgia not have some decent people running for office. Broun is my congressman but I believe he voted for the NDAA and that just sucks!

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

Why was Wimmer marked out?

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Why was Wimmer marked out?

Mia Love beat him at the GOP convention by a large enough margin that there will be no Primary. Wimmer has been eliminated.

Her positions page looks good, but there have been rumblings that she is pro-war.

Dang it. I was sure he had it locked up. Maybe he can run for something else; he is young.

John McDonald For Congress

Here is a candidate in California Congressional District 9. Here is a brief bio:Here is a brief bio: As a principled Ronald Reagan conservative ,McDonald left the Republican Party in disgust when George W. Bush abandoned his conservative principles he ran on.John McDonald was alarmed when George W. Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act (2001), Medicare Expansion Act (2003), and refused to veto a single spending bill. John McDonald returned to the Republican Party after seeing the impact the TEA Party could have in transforming and returning the party to its roots. He opposes the unconstitutional Federal Department of Education, Department of Housing, and Department of Energy. He supports domestic drilling. He wants to go beyond the Paul Ryan Paul and make meaningful cuts. He opposes nation-building and supports a withdrawal from Afghanistan. Instead he supports go after terrorists directly rather than just invading countries left and right. He supports a smaller military footprint. He opposes SOPA and NDAA.
John McDonald also for lowering the income tax and the corporate tax rate. As a business executive he understands the dangers of excess environmental regulations, eminent domain abuse, and the myth of man-made global warming.

He is running against Ricky Gill who has been supported by the Republican establishment and is endorsed by Jeb Bush and Mitch McConnell. Ricky Gill is for surrendering national sovereignty to the U.N., John McDonald has come out strong against the U.N. and Agenda 21. Ricky Gill supports federal intervention in education, farm subsidies, federal involvement in energy. Ricky Gill also supports federal regulation of healthcare insurance. Ricky Gill says he supports Obama Care repeal but wants to keep in the federal ban on pre-existing condition exclusion and a federal mandate to control costs. John McDonald understands that health care works best when the free-market not the government determine costs. John McDonald is also running against Jerry McNerney who is very vulnerable (in 2010, Jerry won 48%-46.9%).

 

[Spoa]

I agree that John McDonald is a good choice, but Ricky Gill isn't bad enough to keep McNerney. We MUST get rid of McNerney, so whoever can best defeat him should be supported!

 

[Spoa]

I think we should add a blue the stars of any candidate who has been endorsed by Senator Rand Paul! Any candidate who has earned the support of Senator Paul has earned the support of a pro-Constitution man...almost as good as his father . I think it would be helpful to do this!

 

[pmbug]

Not sure what the criteria is for being on this list, but for Texas, if you are listing Ted Cruz, you should also list Glenn Addison for US Senate. Also, I know George Harper is an RPF member here, but having attended our county convention and some other local GOP events and never having seen any presence whatsoever from his campaign, I'm not sure how seriously he's running. Robert Gonzalez may not be 100% pure (however that is measured for this list), but I've had some email conversation with him and he's definitely going to be a civil liberties warrior.

Cruz had a Rand Paul endorsement very early on, and he seems like the front runner.

...you should also list Glenn Addison for US Senate.

His website doesn't have any details on issues. Is he better than Cruz in any area? How is he on foreign policy?
