Also, you guys should run for office yourselves if you think I'm not libertarian enough. That's what I don't understand about libertarians. They criticize other libertarians for not being pure enough but never actually step up and run for office themselves.

Really, it's more productive for people to just run for office themselves than to just criticize. How many people on this forum have actually run for office? Me and Gunny? Why is that? Why can't Danno run for office where he lives? For county commissioner, for the state legislature, state senate, etc? Sure, there are people on this forum who are more pure or more hardcore libertarian than I am, so why don't they run for office and promote the cause of liberty?

I support your race, I just don't know if it is THE ONE race I wanna support the most, but the fact that I don't know means there's a decent chance.
Edit: I really hope the above sentence doesn't get taken out of context.
I'm actually one of the last people who would ever throw a liberty supporter under the bus tho.

I agree.

Thomas Massie was one of us back in the 2007 days. Adam Kokesh ran for the House in 2012, and is running for President now. Laura Ebke is running for her second term, this time as a Libertarian. There were more, too. Didn't Michael Landon run for something? Bruehound ran a couple times before 2007....there were a lot of us.
Rand Paul isn't Libertarian enough for some of us.
I don't have the energy or the charisma to run. Mad props to all who do.
Here's an update on my campaign.
The current Representative, Representative Lewis, filed to run for reelection a few days ago. So I'll be running against him in the GOP Primary. The primary date is August 7th. There were also two Democrats who filed to run in our district. This is very rare as we don't usually have a Democrat who files to run in our district, let alone two. If I win the primary I'll have a very good chance to win the general election, but I'll still have to work hard and won't take anything for granted.
In order to win the primary I'm going to need as much help as possible. I'd appreciate the support of people here. I believe I'm currently the only member of this forum who's running for a public office. If a money bomb could be set up for late June or early July I'd appreciate it. Even if you can only donate small amounts, even small amounts help.
Good luck today Brett! Let us know how it goes.
Just popped in to say good luck. Win or lose, you're my hero for running.
The only thing I've run for is precinct delegate. It was a contested race and a lot more work than I expected. Thanks a lot for running--I'm sure it's a big sacrifice for yourself and your family. I hope everyone here will back you if you win today.
GOD speed Brett!

Drat!
At least you tried, better luck next time.
Dannno and AF will have to settle their bet some other way.

I certainly thought my campaign would go much better than that. I knocked on every door twice, except for the houses in the country. I can't see anything I could've done differently. I certainly appreciate the support that everyone here gave me. I may still consider running for office in the future. We'll see.
Absolutely no regrets, you knocked on every door twice, that is amazing itself. Don't get knocked down, try again, perhaps another position this time and build your name.
Were there any slate mailers going out from the party? That could probably be why. Aside from knocking on doors, people have to talk about you too and there needs to be some local news buzz somehow.
Anyways, great effort. Keep it up!

The only mailers that went out were from outside groups, both for and against my opponent, and also my opponent put out mailers. I mostly ran radio ads rather than putting out mailers. I'm not sure if that was a good idea or not. Maybe people don't listen to the radio anymore.
