January 4, 1996
Justin Raimondo has qualified for the 1996 Congressional Ballot without any opposition within the Republican Party.
Candidates who had previously announced for the seat failed to turn in papers. This means that Raiondo will face no primary opponent, allowing Republicans to unify around his campaign early in the election year. In addition, the Libertarian Party failed to qualify a candidate against Raimondo. This means that Raimondo will have little trouble gaining the support of Libertarian Party activists in the district.
On to November, let's defeat Pelosi!
