Rob McNealy kicked off his campaign for United State Congress to represent Colorado Congressional District 6 this week a the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. Rob McNealy will be challenging Republican incumbent Mike Coffman for the 2010 election.
Here’s the interesting part: Rob McNealy is running as a Libertarian candidate for Congress.
Yes, a Libertarian.
I attended his campaign kickoff since he’s a personal friend of mine. Rob has spoken at Colorado Teaparties and has proclaimed the Constitution is his guide to being successful as a Congressman. What most people, or at least those with any inkling of conservative leaning will realize as they look at issues facing our nation is that they have a very libertarian slant. We used the little ‘l’ on purpose so as not to threaten people with being placed into the big ‘L’ camp.
In addition to being a business owner, Rob is somewhat a big deal on the social media scene, so it was fitting that his formal announcement was via Twitter, a first as far as I know.

After the formal announcement, which was streaming live on UStream, Rob fielded questions from the 50 person audience and the Internet. Rob’s ability to address and articulate issues facing our nation within a Constitutional framework are what makes him a great candidate for Congress.
The campaign is fully aware of the challenges facing a third party candidate and promised to have a lot in store for the people of Colorado throughout the next year to make him a credible challenge to Mike Coffman and any Democratic challengers.
