Eric Cables bid to become North Carolinas first Libertarian legislator pits him against Republican Dan Bishop in a GOP-dominated district.

One will succeed Rep. Ruth Samuelson, who opted not to run for a fifth term representing House District 104 in south Charlotte. Democrats didnt run a challenger.

Bishop, a lawyer specializing in business litigation, served as a Mecklenburg County commissioner from 2004 to 2008. He says those experiences, and a lifetime in Charlotte, give him a deep understanding of local issues that utopian politics cant match.

Im conservative, but I believe you have to temper ideology with practical experience, he said.

His Libertarian opponent, who lost a run for Charlotte City Council last year, says voters are eager for a new political approach.

People are pulling away from both sides, but more from the Republicans, Cable said. There are people who are getting fed up with extremism from both sides.

The districts profile suggests a steep uphill battle for Cable, whos counting on Democrats and independent voters to turn out. Nearly 40 percent Republican, the district has only 235 registered Libertarians.

Bishop, 50, says Republicans in charge of North Carolinas legislature since 2011 have rightly started rebuilding the states economy with limited government, lower tax rates and fewer regulations.

The big challenge over the coming years will be that the changes that have been made need to be able to play out, he said. You have to let that have the effect of drawing businesses in to the state and incentivizing businesses to grow.

He supports the teacher pay raises legislators granted this year but says the teacher career ladder needs reform. He says legislators were right not to expand Medicaid amid the Obamacare disaster and prescribes market competition to improve health care and lower costs.

Libertarian Senate Candidate discusses social, economic policy by Will Marshall | Oct 02 2014 | 10/02/14 1:52am

Libertarian Virginia Senate candidate Robert Sarvis spoke at a Students for Individual Liberty event at Clark Hall Wednesday, outlining his platform in the upcoming midterm election.

The Annandale native broke into the spotlight when he ran as a third-party candidate in last years Virginia gubernatorial election, defining his brand of libertarianism as a best of both worlds, striking a balance between what he considers the Republican and Democratic parties best policies.

Generally speaking, Sarvis said he identifies with the rights fiscal policies and the lefts social policies.

Sarvis began his political career as a GOP candidate running for state Senate, eventually dropping his Republican affiliation and taking up the Libertarian mantle.

After I ran in 2012 as a libertarian Republican, I learned that the GOP is not a good vehicle for liberty candidates, Sarvis said. They are hypocritical on economic issues and strident on social issues. I feel like the two-party system is broken. I could have run as an independant, but thats not leaving behind something that outlasts you.

Sarvis emphasized what he considers the most urgent issues libertarian candidates need to address the dwelling on the long, costly drug war, which he blames for saddling the nation with excess expenditures in the last 50 years.

Thanks to the drug war, we have millions in prison the highest incarceration rate in the world, Sarvis said. A third of those are for nonviolent crimes, which, a) costs money, and b) is wasted human potential.

Other issues topping his list of priorities included reforming certain entitlement programs and deregulating areas where he believes the free market would be a more effective solution.

Obamacare is a problem but weve also had 100 years of misregulation of the health care system by both major parties, Sarvis said.

A governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress in Cross River State, Mr. Odey Ochicha, has said his party is no longer dormant in the state.

Ochicha, who spoke to journalists on Friday at the party secretariat in Calabar when he went to obtain the expression of intent form to contest for the governorship race in the 2015 election, said the APC had become a vibrant opposition party in the state after the merger.

Ochicha said, Nigeria and by extension Cross River will continue to witness infrastructure decay as long as power is left in the hands of one party. Power left in the hand of one party is recipe for decay and retrogression.

The emergence of APC is a good omen for the state and Nigeria in general. One of the beauties of democracy is to have a vibrant opposition to checkmate the excesses of the ruling party. Without that, there can be no growth in the society.

Democracy is about alternatives. If you leave power in one hand for too long its a recipe for decay and retrogression.

Ochicha, who disclosed that educational development would be his top priority if eventually elected as the next governor of Cross River State, said he was propelled into the race because of his passion for service.

If we assume the leadership of this state, we will address education like Obafemi Awolowo did in the Western region, the Bekwarra-born political scientist added.
