He was mayor of Carmel CA (I think it was Carmel, I know it was somewhere in
CA), so he has a little experience. Also he’s made vaguely libertarian noises
in the past which is a plus. So he’s got my vote! (out of the candidates
already running plus him, that is, I reserve the right to vote for someone
else in the general)
However I think he’s been asked to run for something bigger before and
demurred, saying he did his bit and that was it.

It’s all there at
the LP site.
He explains the philosophy in simple terms: “Everyone leaves everyone else
alone.”
And:
“At Waco, was there really an urgency to get those people out of the compound
at that particular time? Was the press going to make it look heroic for the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms? At Ruby Ridge, there was one guy in a
cabin at the top of the mountain. Was it necessary for federal agents to go up
there and shoot a 14-year-old in the back and shoot a woman with a child in her
arms? What kind of mentality does that?”
