[[Bob Steiner]] will soon publicly announce his candidacy for Congress in New Jersey's 12th District. [[Bob Steiner|Bob]], a Life Member of the LP, and our [[Libertarian Party of New Jersey|New Jersey Chairman]], is an accomplished public speaker. He is also exceptionally knowledgeable on economic issues, and is becoming well known in New Jersey as a champion of the overburdened taxpayer. He has published two books, and plans a third, entitled "How We won," to be released after his campaign, which will draw on the talents of experienced libertarians from New York and Virginia, as well as New Jersey. The incumbent Congressman in [[Bob Steiner|Bob]]'s district is a freshman Republican with a [[Royce Rating]] of 36, whom [[Bob Steiner|Bob]] says is "extremely vulnerable." Perhaps the most unusual event related to [[Bob Steiner|Bob]]'s campaign so far is the unanimous endorsement has has received from "Alaskans for Independence," as a result of his support for Alaska's right to secede from the United States. Contributions should be sent to Bob Steiner for Congress, Box 112, Westfield, NJ 07091. | [[Bob Steiner]] will soon publicly announce his candidacy for Congress in New Jersey's 12th District.

===[[KARL BRAY|Karl Bray]]=== | |||
[[Karl Bray]], a well-known figure in the tax strike movement, will be the [[Libertarian Party of Utah|Utah LP]]'s candidate for Congress in that state's Second District. [[Karl Bray|Karl]], a [[Life Member]] of the Party has been an active LP supporter from our earliest days; he was on the Temporary National Executive Committee and the 1972 Platform Committee, and served as Utah's first LP Chairman. He is currently Vice Chairman of the Utah Party. Karl has been harassed by the IRS because of his outspoken advocacy of tax resistance, and plans to make the tax issue a main element in his campaign. Current campaign strategy is for Karl to enter the GOP primary, in order to gain exposure, and then to run in the general election as a Libertarian. The incumbent Congressman in Karl's district is Wayne Owens, a Democrat with a [[Royce Rating]] of 27. Contributions for Karl's campaign should be sent to the Utah LP, Box `5506, Salt Lake City, UT 84115, and marked as campaign contributions. | |||
