Filed my application for candidacy today

Just as I did in 06, I'll be running for State Rep as a member of the Libertarian Party.

23.77%, 4,132 votes ... with zero campaigning.

I'm planning on putting a few thousand into it, hopefully mostly in donations after I jump start some campaigning with a few hundred bucks of my own.

Wow, that's a pretty impressive percentage.

Yeah, you should definitely take donations and campaign.. Do you have a website where people can go to look at your views?

Not yet, I've been slowly working on one the last few months. Now that the filing will be official, I'm going to ramp up the efforts.
