In 2012, Bruce Majors ran as the Libertarian Party candidate for the Congressional delegate for the District of Columbia. In 2010, Majors told a reporter from ''The Washington Post'' that he was comfortable working with people who support the Tea Party movement because they have common goals with libertarians. On his blog, Majors posted advice to attendees of the 2010 Restoring Honor rally that attendees should avoid two Metrorail lines because they go through certain neighborhoods. He wrote that many parts of the District are safe, "but why chance it if you don't know where you are?" | In 2012, Bruce Majors ran as the Libertarian Party candidate for the Congressional delegate for the District of Columbia.

During his 2012 campaign, Majors told a reporter from ''The Washington Post'' that he expected to lose. He said his goal was to receive at least 7,500 votes in order to secure major-party status for the Libertarian Party and make it far easier for its candidates to appear on the ballot. Majors came in second place with 16,524 votes, or six percent of the total vote. Because he ran as a Libertarian Party candidate and he received more than 7,500 votes, the Libertarian Party became a major party in the District through at least 2016. | During his 2012 campaign, Majors told a reporter from ''The Washington Post'' that he expected to lose.
