In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“As a Libertarian, I am not beholden to my party or my party leadership. My only obligations would be to my constituents, my oath to uphold the US Constitution, and my own conscience.”
“We should end the Federal Reserve and the federal banking cartel that has destroyed the value of the US Dollar with continual inflationary policies, money-supply controls and interest rate manipulation.”
“I would like to see federal legislation pass that nullifies the 2012 Supreme Court decision in American Tradition Partnership v. Bullock that struck down Montana's century-old 1912 Corrupt Practices Act.”
“I believe that the best way for Congress to improve access to healthcare generally would be to lower the regulatory burden, which artificially restricts the supply of healthcare providers.”
“The War Powers Resolution of 1973 should be strengthened so that the President cannot engage in war without Congress declaring war, as prescribed by the US Constitution.”
“I would like to see other candidates commit to better management of our public lands to improve multiple use, public access, and productive stewardship of our vast and valuable natural resources,”
