Independent
Party of Delaware endorses Libertarian Scott Gesty for US House
For immediate release
In a move creating the strongest
“third-party” ticket that Delaware has ever seen, the Independent Party of
Delaware has endorsed Libertarian Scott Gesty for US House of
Representatives. The endorsement potentially
pairs Gesty with IPOD’s high-profile US Senate candidate, Alex Pires of Dewey
Beach.
“Scott’s
commitment to individual Liberty, the Constitution, truth, justice and economic
freedom make him a viable alternative to politics as usual,” said IPOD Chair
Wolfgang von Baumgart in a Sunday evening statement. “Delaware needs a true representative of the
people, not special interests.”
Gesty is Director
of Training and Development for BNY Mellon, and a longtime activist with the
Delaware Campaign for Liberty. Along
with his wife Maria and daughter Virginia he lives in Brandywine Hundred.
“I’m going to
campaign on my beliefs and John Carney’s abysmal record as Delaware’s only
Congressman,” Gesty said. He sees the
critical issues in this year’s campaign as resisting Federal interference with
local control of public schools, restoring financial sanity to government
operations, ending the war on drugs, and getting the US out of Afghanistan.
“Carney has
been on the wrong side of all those issues,” Gesty insists. “He can raise hundreds of thousands of
dollars in special interest money, but I intend to make it difficult for him to
run away from his own record.”
Gesty sought
and received the nomination of the Libertarian Party of Delaware at its May
convention in Dover.
