Running as a Libertarian candidate, Jacob G. Hornberger, a rising figure in the Libertarian Party and founder of the Libertarian Future of Freedom Foundation, hopes to win the bid for Virginia's Senate seat by advocating traditional Libertarian policies that include a paring-down of the federal government and the suspension of the War on Drugs and gun control, as well as policies of military aggression toward Iraq.
"I believe that our country is headed in a wrong direction -- one that threatens the freedom, prosperity and well-being of the American people," Hornberger states on his campaign Web site. "That's why I've decided to run for the United States Senate -- in order to move our nation in a better and freer direction."
A graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and University of Texas Law School, the 52-year-old Hornberger began to rise in the Libertarian Party when he was tapped to be keynote speaker at the party's convention in 1996. Since then, Hornberger has led a campaign within the party to raise ethical standards, following revelations that two party staffers accepted donations in 1996 from Harry Browne, to secure Browne's nomination as the party's official presidential candidate.
"It remains my conviction that if the Libertarian Party is ever to achieve electoral success," Hornberger said. "It must undergo a major change in leadership, vision and direction."
