Libertarians
field viable candidate for District 4 seat
With the confirmation of John Ratcliffe
as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) on May 21, multiple candidates are
stepping forward to run for the open Congressional seat.
The Libertarian Party is proud to
announce its nominee for District 4 is Lou Antonelli of Clarksville in Red
River County, a small business owner with a long record of public service and community
involvement. Antonelli pledges to run a full-fledged active campaign.
Antonelli says his goal running as a
third party candidate is to inject original ideas into the discussion, and push
for the Libertarian Party to become the second party in the district,
displacing the Democrats.
“Can you imagine how much better our
political system would be if the two major parties were the Republicans and Libertarians,
instead of the Republicans and Democrats?” asked Antonelli. “Libertarians are
the loyal opposition, as opposed to
the Democrats, who are the disloyal opposition.”
Antonelli said Libertarians stand for
hacking away strangling bureaucracy at all levels of government, and returning
as much authority as possible to individuals. “Thanks to the COVID pandemic, we
have all gotten a free trial of Socialism,” he said. “How do you like it?”
Lou and his wife Patricia own The Clarksville Times, founded in 1873,
the oldest business in Red River County. He is the managing editor, and has
been a community journalist for 40 years.
He has served in the past as an elected
school trustee, a library trustee, an animal shelter board member, and a
condemnation court judge. He is presently the President of the Clarksville
Lions Club.
His cell phone number is 903-257-6573
and anyone is welcome to call him any time. His office number at The
Clarksville Times in 903-427-0002, or you can email him at theclarksvilletimes@gmail.com
