Brad Cates is running for District Attorney in NM's Dona Ana County. A true liberty candidate, he's been fighting against civil forfeiture for awhile.

The Bill of Rights have stood the test of time, and Brad Cates stands firmly with each individual in defending those rights.
Individuals and the press have a right to speak their mind, no matter whose feelings get hurt.
Law abiding individuals have a right to possess firearms. It is the criminals who should be disarmed and prosecuted.
Each person has a right to own property, and the government should not take it without due process and a day in court. People’s property should not be seized and forfeited without an arrest and conviction.
Everyone has a reasonable expectation of privacy in their phones and electronic devices. The outdated New Mexico computer crimes law needs a serious update to protect your images and words, and a tough “sex-tortion” provision needs to be added.
Each person’s home, devices, phones, and papers should be secure from warrantless searches, spying, and seizures.
The people individually are endowed by their creator with these rights, and as such, the government works for them, not vice versa.
