Edward Gonzalez is running for congress in the 16th congressional district in California. He is running as a libertarian in a race with no republicans.

We interviewed him on Libertarian Politics Live last night. Listen to it here. It was a good interview and those who are libertarian and libertarian leaning will find his positions refreshing.

Excerpts:

"I believe in the free market economics of Henry Hazlitt, Frederich Hayek, and Ludvig von Mises..."

"Our economy is a disaster. Let's put all the social issues aside, and concentrate on bringing our economy back."

"The social entitlements have failed California"

Gonzalez is a teacher at a private school in northern California and talks about his experience. He added:

"Completely, I would advocate the abolishment of the Dept. of Education..."

Note - It is yet to be determined if there will be a Republican write-in candidate on the ballot in this race. But Gonzalez sought the GOP nomination, as well.
