FREEDOM TED VS. FREAKY TED: THE RACE IS ON!!
TED BROWN for U. S. SENATOR
Ted Brown, Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Travis County, had announced his candidacy to run for U. S. Senator from Texas in 2024. The incumbent is Republican Ted Cruz, who is becoming more authoritarian every day. The likely Democrat is Rep. Colin Allred, who would faint if he had to read an economics book. This is a high-profile race that needs a Libertarian candidate to promote personal freedom, economic freedom, and a non-interventionist foreign policy, or else these ideas won’t be heard by Texas voters. Ted is an experienced candidate who has run for statewide office before and has a track record promoting Libertarian ideas. This race will likely be second biggest race in the country (after President) to have a Libertarian candidate on the November 2024 ballot.
Texas Republicans really don’t want Libertarians to run for office, so they have imposed large filing fees in order for us to get on the ballot. The highest fee of all is $5,000 for U. S. Senator, since it is such a high-level race. Ted has raised $1,837 so far. Please make a contribution of $25, $50, $100, $500, up to the legal limit of $3,300, towards this very important race.
DONATE TO DAVID ROBERSON'S SUPREME COURT CAMPAIGN!
David, a Baylor University & South Texas College of Law graduate, is a politically active Austin attorney and a dedicated Libertarian activist, serving as the Secretary of the Libertarian Party of Travis County, a Legislative Liaison for the Libertarian Party of Texas, and has supported the Libertarian National Party on the By Laws & Rules Committee as an alternate. During the 2022 cycle, David ran for state representative in Texas’ District 49, covering his full $750 filing fee personally. Now, he's stepping up to run for the Texas Supreme Court - a critical position for maintaining Libertarian ballot access in Texas. Historically, statewide court candidates have played a pivotal role in securing this access.
In this position, David will have the opportunity to review and render judgment on legal issues concerning individual freedom of expression, association, and use of private property. He will be responsible to adjudicate matters presented through the lens of individual liberty as derived from the Bill of Rights, and the core principles of American tradition.
Due to the Texas House passing SB 994 in 2023, the Secretary of State is now empowered to prevent David from even being on the ballot for election in 2024 unless he pays a filing fee of $3,750. Not to be dismayed, David has already raised $1,850 of this fee, including a substantial contribution of his own, with the goal of filing his application with the State of Texas by December 11, 2023, the deadline. Please consider donating towards David’s filing fee, and his campaign, in whatever amount you are able and willing via the link below:
