Election preview Libertarian candidates for U.S. Senate
ASHEBORO The Libertarian Party has two candidates, Sean Haugh of Durham and Tim DAnnunzio of Raeford, running for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat Kay Hagan.
The winner of the May 6 primary will represent the party on the Nov. 5 ballot.
Neither candidate responded to requests to answer questions for this article.
Haugh, born in 1960, maintains a Facebook campaign page at Haugh for Senate. His Facebook page indicates he was born in Arizona, moved to Boston, then to Durham, up to New York and back to Durham. There is no indication of work experience.
I retired from politics in 2010 and only returned because I saw the need for someone to articulate the libertarian message in this race, he said on Facebook.
DAnnunzio, 56, is a former Republican turned Libertarian. He has run in at least two other races. In 2010, he attempted a run to be the Republican candidate in the District 8 race against then incumbent Democrat Rep. Larry Kissell. He lost. In 2012, he lost in a District 4 race against Democrat David Price. DAnnunzio appears not to have a campaign site. He does maintain a personal Facebook page on which he posts about political issues.
