| CA | Tuka | Gafari | CD19 | Conservative | small government, less taxes. Get rid of the programs, you’ll get rid of the problems.
Example, rent control. The more the government gets involved, the more problems are created. Show me an example where government has solved problems. Argentina has axed all rent control laws. Housing supply went up and rents went down. Those are facts, not opinions. As a real estate agent, I see how government is driving up prices. Regulations, permits, fees, taxes. |

| CO | Clifton | Brown | Colorado 3rd district House of Representatives. | Other: Can’t put my beliefs in little boxes. | I believe in protecting human rights and freedom of choice. I believe in a women’s right to choose and I also believe in a strong second amendment that allows citizens to protect themselves against an overbearing government. It’s the duty of government to protect any lifestyle a person chooses to live as long as it doesn’t interfere with the rights and privileges of others. |
| CO | Christy | Peterson | US House of Representatives | Conservative | |
| CO | Sean | Pond | U.S. Senate | Conservative | Constitution Party-Candidate |
| CO | Adam | Withrow | United States Senate | Other: Realistic | Every one of those labels is completely obsolete. No one can honestly pretend that those are our only options, and I’m not such a sheep that I need a category I fall into. There are times I’ll vote right along with Republicans, and there are times I’ll vote with Democrats.
I pity the fools who do not have minds of their own and have to say ‘we’ all the time. |

| CT | George | Austin | CT-02 | Conservative | |
| CT | Amy | Chai | US Congress | Other: Pragmatist | The terms “Liberal” and “Conservative” used to assume that both sides were pro-America and anti-Communist. I am against global Marxism. But the LEFT is no longer “liberal.” It is totalitarian and Marxist. So what does liberal and conservative even mean these days? I solve problems that makes me a pragmatist. |

| FL | Seth | Haskin | U.S. House of Representatives District 19 | Other: Strict constitutionalist and classical liberal | I consider myself a “strict constitutionalist” rooted in the tradition of “classical liberalism”. I believe that all people are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and that the primary purpose of government is to secure life, liberty, and property through the rule of law. I support limited and enumerated government, federalism, the separation of powers, representative government, free speech, religious liberty, freedom of conscience and association, private property, voluntary exchange, free markets, equal justice under the law, and personal responsibility. I judge every issue not by party or ideology, but by whether it is constitutional, protects individual liberty, and preserves our republican form of government. My goal is not to conserve or expand the government we have today, but to restore the constitutional principles and institutions upon which our Republic was founded. |

| GA | John | Salvesen | U S 5 | Conservative | |
| HI | Jordan | Conley | US House of Representatives | Other: I am a radical socialist communist | This is because I use the literal definition of words.
I am for the community, society, and that is radical in the individualist west. I believe people should have more say over their lives where the west thinks corporations know how to better run you. Moderates are liberals are conservatives. They talk slightly different, but have the same capitalist policies. Like Malcom X and MLK warned us, moderates and liberals are actually more harmful than conservatives. Like Trump and MAGA, conservatives are happy to growl in your face and grab you by the p()ssy. We see their obvious evil. Then you have liberals like Obama and Bill Clinton. Obama will straight lie to you and have you drink poison water. Clinton will play some smooth saxophone amd then drop a bomb on innocent people as fast Trump. For the west, I would be considered a radical socialist commie. I am here to bring you health care, schooling pre K through college, respectful work, food security, housing security, and all the things a society can provide. |

| IL | Sam | Pol | US Representative | Moderate | I prioritize the constitutional process, institutional accountability, and practical outcomes achieved through compromise.

Additionally, I oppose unchecked executive authority regardless of party. With a focus on affordability, housing supply, and economic reform, I remain in favor of free market policies. At the same time, I support both the Second Amendment and a woman’s right to choose. Ultimately, my leadership style emphasizes pragmatism, and my reform-minded approach positions me between party lines. |

| IL | Jeff | Walter | Illinois Congressional District 11 | Conservative | |
| IN | Jackson | Franklin | House of Representatives IN-5 | Socialist | “Democratic Socialist” like MLK Jr, Albert Einstein, and Bernie Sanders. I just want healthcare, our politicians not to be corrupted by corporate lobbyists, and for the system to work for us working class people not only a few wealthy elites. Most Americans are tired of labels and agree with the overwhelming amount of our common sense policies. |
| IN | Floyd | Taylor | US House Indiana 9th district | Other: Independent | A member of Congress should not rule, persuade, or impose personal ideology — they should execute the verified will of their district with a public audit trail.
Everything else is downstream of that. |

| KY | Jay | Bowman | US House of Representatives Kentucky 6th District | Moderate | I am focused on solving problems, not taking extreme sides. |
| KY | Harvey | Carroll | 6th House of Representatives | Moderate | Ultra Fiscally Conservative on reducing the debt and deficit that Trump policies basically doubled from 20 to 40 Trillion that will collapse America. Moderate commonsense middle. Liberal on peoples freedoms to live as they wish as long as they don’t force that on others. |
| KY | Daniel | Cobble | U.S. Representative, Louisville, KY District 3 | Conservative | STARRS should be careful that, when taking the $250 million, the Trump [administration] has moved to the far right (to fascism), and the DNC to the far left. This is the effects of the weak dollar that we do not understand. Again, see my letter to Mayor Mandani. I am a Constitutionalist, I believe is the same as a true “conservative.” |
| KY | Corey | Edwards | U.S. House District KY6 | Other: So far Left, the voter guides call me “NorthWest” | CIA declassified documents would call me a “Black Messiah” but I am simply a person of compassion |

| MD | Chris | Burnett | Congress | Conservative | |
| MD | Jennifer | Cross | US House of Representatives MD03 | Other: American 1950s style Democrat | I grew up with grandparents who were born in 1910 and they were democrats so they Democratic values that I possess are from them so this is why I consider myself an American 1950s democrat. Because my values are based on theirs, not on these warped, whacked extremist Democrats that have basically given everyone a blackeye in the United States as far as I’m concerned. |
| MD | Berney | Flowers | Congress, Marylands’ District 3 | Conservative | I am conservative. |
| MD | Felix M. | Seier | U.S. Congress | Other: (Bull Moose) Republican | I do not fit into traditional partisan categories because my focus is not on political dogma, but on a ‘Blueprint for Socioeconomic Evolution.’ I consider myself a ‘Reason-based Republican’ who believes the party must return to its roots of institutional stability, merit, and the rule of law.
My political identity is shaped by my 22 years in the Navy and the principles of Rousseau’s Civil Religion. I am a ‘Constitutional Reformist’ who believes that our government must be an objective social infrastructure that serves the ‘General Will’ rather than private interests or divisive identity politics. While I hold conservative views on the importance of a unified national identity and border security, I am progressive in my belief that we must evolve our economy through science, technology, and trust in our professional institutions. I am a candidate of the Republic of Reason, dedicated to submerging the ‘bullets’ of partisan division in favor of the ‘ballots’ of objective, common-sense governance. |

| MI | Tom | Barrett | US House of Representatives, District 7 | Conservative | |
| MI | Chris | Dardzinski | 13th Congressional district | Other: Constitutionalist. | I follow the political philosophical tenantys of John Locke. If it does not fit inside the Constitution, then it needs to be stripped out of the federal government. This may take time for some aspects, as it is very complex, but I’m here to do the work. |
| MI | Justin | Kirk | U.S. Congressional District 10 | Conservative | I am a constitutional conservative. I believe in limited government, individual liberty, fiscal responsibility, secure borders, a strong national defense, and faithfully upholding the Constitution. |
| MI | Al | Lemmo | US House of Representatives District 08 | Conservative | |
| MI | Felix | Thibodeau | US Congress | Communist | Unfortunately ‘Radical Communist’ wasn’t an option. I’m actually incredibly curious about the responses from individuals who self identity as just ‘Radical’. Anyway, capitalists have laid to rot the supports of our home, the United States. As we slowly sink, they bring in massive heavy machines they promise us we need. They ignore the cracks up the wall, the dip in the floor, the bowing of the ceiling. Instead, they split into two groups and scream at each other about the weight of our t shirts and pants. Whether we can handle wearing belts or not, else it all collapses. And they convince us this is the argument we need to have with each other. I’m here to say we need to kick out these capitalists and focus on the damn house! |

| MN | Joyce | Lacey | US Senate | Conservative | I am a constitutional conservative. I believe the Declaration of independence, the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights embody timeless principles of liberty, limited government, individual rights and the rule of law. Public officials take an oath to uphold the Constitution, not to rewrite it. My duty is to preserve the freedoms and protections our founding fathers established, defend the unalienable rights of every person and ensure government remains accountable to the people it serves. |

| NC | Marcus | Pearson | United States of House of Representatives district 10 | Moderate | |
| NC | Orrick | Quick | US SENATE | Other: Constitutional Conservative | I consider myself a constitutional conservative with independent principles. I believe in strong borders and the rule of law — but I also believe the Constitution must be upheld in the process. Government cannot violate due process or equal protection while claiming to enforce the law. My foundation is constitutional order, individual liberty, accountability, and stewardship in leadership. |

I am willing to work with people across the political spectrum when we can find common ground. |

| OH | Margaret | Briem | Congress Ohio’s 13th Congressional District | Conservative | |
| OH | Rosemary | Oglesby-Henry | US House of Representatives Ohio 1st District | Conservative | I consider myself a constitutional conservative focused on accountability, economic opportunity, strong families, and responsible governance. Conservatism, in my view, means stewardship protecting the freedoms and opportunities that allow individuals, families, and communities to thrive. Those freedoms are grounded in the principles of the Bill of Rights, which safeguard the ability of every American to pursue their God-given liberty. At the same time, freedom carries responsibility. One person’s freedom should never infringe upon the freedom of another. Within conservatism, I believe in justice, constitutional limits on government, and systems that do not unnecessarily overreach into the lives of families or the decisions made within their homes. My values are rooted in faith and responsibility recognizing that strong communities are built on the foundations of God, family, faith, and education, with God always first. |
| OH | Samuel | Ronan | US House OH-15 | Other: Populist | Like Eisenhower, it is possible to be a Republican and: govern the nation, tax the wealthy, build roads, schools, and hospitals, all while evolving as a society (implemented Don’t ask don’t tell, instead of discharging queer members of the military post WWII) |

| OR | Patty | Snow | US House of Representatives | Liberal | I have a progressive stance on human rights and government reformation. Our government has favored powerful businesses and wealthy donors over average citizens and it has led to economic inequality, rising health and housing costs, media control and reduced actions against harmful corporate actions. Through the erasure of DEI programs and removal of historical contributions by minorities, we have lost hard-fought gains in human rights. I will fight to restore policies that promote equality and sponsor legislation for government reformation including term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court, accountability for elected officials acting against their oath to the Constitution and dismantling the Electoral College and moving to One Person, One Vote so every person knows their vote counts. |

| SC | Thomas | Dismukes | U.S. Senate representing the great people of SC | Conservative | I’m a conservative because I believe in the principles that have made this country strong: Limited government Fiscal responsibility Individual liberty Personal responsibility Strong national defense Faith, family, and freedom I don’t see conservatism as a label—it’s a commitment to protect what works, fix what’s broken, and preserve the freedoms we’ve been given. |
| SC | Donavan | Louis | US Senate | Moderate | I think left and right needs to become right and wrong. |
| SC | Mark | Smith | SC-01 | Conservative | I am a conservative because I believe in the timeless principles that have made our country strong: individual liberty, limited government, personal responsibility, and the rule of law.
I believe government should serve the people, not control them. This means keeping taxes low, reducing unnecessary regulations, and empowering small businesses and workers to succeed through hard work and innovation, not bureaucratic red tape. As a first-generation small business owner, I understand firsthand how government overreach can either help or hinder economic opportunity. I believe in securing our borders and enforcing immigration laws fairly and consistently. A nation without borders is not a nation at all, and we must ensure that our immigration system works for those who follow the law and contributes to the strength and safety of our communities. I support a strong national defense and a military that is focused on readiness, merit, and unity of purpose. I believe in restoring trust in our institutions by returning power closer to the people (families, communities, and local governments) rather than concentrating it in Washington, D.C. Most importantly, I believe in preserving opportunity for the next generation. My goal is simple: to ensure that my children, and every child in our district, can grow up in a country where hard work is rewarded, freedom is protected, and the American Dream remains within reach. |

My background in Resource Management and education has taught me that effective governance requires balancing competing interests through the lens of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Being a moderate does not mean a lack of conviction; rather, it represents a steadfast commitment to the “Rule of Law” and the “Consent of the Governed” over partisan ideology. I am dedicated to protecting individual liberties while ensuring our government functions efficiently for all citizens, including our retired military members who have sacrificed to preserve the stable, democratic center of our nation. |

My views are shaped by real life — escaping communism as a legal immigrant, building a career through hard work as a Mechanical Engineer, and seeing how government overreach hurts everyday people. I support legal immigration, energy abundance (hydro, nuclear, and renewables done right), school choice, and reducing the cost of living. I oppose extremes on both sides: wasteful spending, identity politics, and heavy-handed mandates. I’ll work across the aisle when it benefits our district, but I will never compromise on core principles: the Constitution, individual liberty, and putting American citizens first. Results over rhetoric. That’s my approach. |
