We have been receiving a tremendous amount of interest and support from the community since I officially announced my run for US Congress, District 19. What we need in District 19 is an elected official who is willing to listen to the people he represents. I will speak at events, I will attend functions, I will participate in debates, and I will sit down with citizens of my district regardless of party affiliation. We need less divisive party politics in Washington and more common sense approaches that stand to benefit all of our fellow citizens rather than some party bigwigs,\u201d stated Netherwood.<\/p>\n<p>Netherwood continued, \u201cLiberty and Freedom are popular, unifying messages no matter what your party affiliation or involvement level in politics. I look forward to bringing those unifying messages to the people of District 19 over the course of this campaign!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Netherwood campaign, please visit the newly launched official campaign website,\u00a0<a title=\"This external link will open in a new window\" href=\"http:\/\/ray2014.us7.list-manage2.com\/track\/click?u=594f94908f50fe7b644400e9a&amp;id=1668b4c7fa&amp;e=770c880799\" target=\"_blank\">www.Ray2014.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ray Netherwood is a Libertarian candidate for US Congress, District 19.
