Andy Maidment

Where Maidment stands

Taxes & budget

Let us make this building, IRS headquarters, unimportant.

Veterans & national defense

Individual rights and liberty. From your right to self defense, to your right not to have every aspect of your life tracked by the government, we need to scale back Washington's reach into your life.

Peace And Prosperity

In his classic novel, 1984, George Orwell described the war Oceania was fighting. He wrote, “The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.” Today libertarians call it the Forever War. Except it is not fiction. The United States has had a permanent presence in the Middle East since before I was born. Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria—and no end in sight. It took just four years to defeat the two most powerful nations on earth and that was 80 years ago. If we meant to win, surely we could have done it in by now.

Priorities & campaign themes

I used to say Ron Paul but I'm starting to think Thomas Massie might be better.

Priorities & campaign themes

Dishwasher. My folks made me quit after 2 months because I had to work past midnight.

Priorities & campaign themes

PTSD. It took a failed marriage to make me see it.
