J. Wesley Casteen, Libertarian candidate for U.S. Congress District 7, has been endorsed by the Libertarian National Campaign Committee.

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to support a candidate that is dedicated to promoting and implementing the philosophies and principles of the Libertarian Party,” said Evan McMahon, LNCC executive director.

“Thank you for stepping forward and seeking office,” McMahon said. “I know it is not an easy task. We need more Libertarian candidates like you.”

“I'm grateful to have received the endorsement of the LNCC,” said Casteen.

The LNCC is a national committee of the Libertarian Party, and provides training, resources and support to Libertarian candidates in local, state and Congressional races.

In case you missed the debate—or just want to see a replay of Sean Haugh, Libertarian for U.S. Senate, giving serious, thoughtful answers to moderator Jon Evans’ questions while the other two mostly recited talking points and traded petty personal accusations. Here is the replay.

For most of the debate, Sen. Kay Hagan and Speaker Thom Tillis attacked each other and repeated the talking points from their campaign ads.  Only Haugh spoke directly to the issues throughout the debate.

Sean Haugh, Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate, had a busy media day Wednesday. He appeared on Fox & Friends and MSNBC's Hardball, and taped interviews for ABC and Voice of America TV. 

Haugh will participate in a debate tonight at 7 p.m. on Wilmington's WECT TV6 with Sen. Kay Hagan and Speaker Thom Tillis. 

The debate will be carried live in Raleigh on WNCN-2, available on TWC channel 1245 or as “Antenna TV” at 17.2. It will also be live streamed on WNCN.com. 

Despite the "wise guy" remarks about pizza delivery, Chris Matthews likes him. Isn't it telling how the mainstream media demeans people who have real jobs.
