Terri McCormick is a candidate vying for a Congressional Seat in Northern Wisconsin District 8. The seat, currently held by a Democrat, is viewed as one of the most likely pick-ups for the GOP in 2010.

McCormick is a former 3-term State Legislator. She's also the author of the provactively titled book: "What Sex Is a Republican?’ Stories from the Front lines of American Politics and how you can change the way things are"

According to Aaron Biterman, Communications Director for the Republican Liberty Caucus:

Terri is a member of the Republican Liberty Caucus and a former three-term State Representative that held herself to her original term limits pledge. She is a constitutionalist and is anti-statist. She is currently in an eight-way primary, but is the only candidate that has name recognition districtwide. (She ran in 2006 for the same seat, but lost because the NRCC did not want her to be the nominee.)

From her Campaign Website:

Terri believes in the principles of limited government, fiscal restraint, checks and balances, free market competition, constitutional freedoms and rule of law. She believes that “every earmark, pork barrel spending scheme, every bureaucracy created takes freedoms away from American citizens.” She was the author of the Small Business Regulation Reform Act in Wisconsin that requires free market principles and pro market representatives to regulate the impact of endless regulations on business. Removing government regulation unleashes the forces of the free market that raise our living standards. Responsible government begins with the understanding that government is a servant of the people and not a master of them. Free market protections were strengthened by Terri’s reforms for capital investment, competitive bidding pools, market transparency and regulation reform.

She's also a staunch defender of the Second Amendment, and is fiercely opposed to a public option for Health Care.
