==Political Involvement (Early + Republican Party)==
 
Gausling long identified as a conservative growing up, even though large portions of his mother's side of the family had been lifelong Democrats in the Kennedy tradition, and his father wasn't particularly politically-inclined. In retrospect, Gausling classifies himself as having been a neoconservative. He became a libertarian due to the influence of multiple thinkers, but was predominantly catalyzed by Ron Paul.
 
==Political Involvement (Libertarian Party)==
 
Gausling's wife had been encouraging him to get involved with the Libertarian Party for several years. She was registered to vote in Texas by a Libertarian Party supporter at a [[Mises Institute]] event they attended in Lake Jackson, Texas, sometime around 2019 - early 2020. Gausling himself declined to register.
 
In early 2023, Gausling decided to register to vote in Texas. He and his wife joined the national Libertarian Party, the [[Libertarian Party of Texas]], and the [[Montgomery County Libertarian Party (Texas)]]. They officially affiliated with the Libertarian Party through the county affiliate in April 2023.
 
In June 2023, Gausling was appointed to the Memorial Subcommittee of the [[National Historical Preservation Committee]], tasked with helping to compile research to honor at the [[National Convention 2024]] libertarians who have died in recent years.
