I am Hannah Goodman a 6th generation Coloradan from rural Colorado. I am the Chairwoman of the Libertarian Party of Colorado. I am running to advance the position of Radical Capitalism and American Liberty. Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? Free Markets, Free Minds, Free People. ‘America First through Privatization.’ I believe in unleashing the potential of every sector by transitioning from government control to private innovation. This approach will empower citizens, enhance service quality, and foster economic growth. Privatization is the path to a prosperous and free America, where individual choice and market competition lead to efficiency and innovation. Join me in championing a future where our nation thrives on the principles of liberty and the free market.” A strong voice for rural Colorado. I advocate for empowering rural communities through stronger representation in Washington. As a Libertarian candidate, I stand firmly against unnecessary military interventions. Our focus should be on diplomacy, trade, and the preservation of life rather than engaging in conflicts that harm both our soldiers and innocent civilians abroad. It's time to prioritize peace, safeguard our nation's resources, and respect the sovereignty of other nations. An anti-war stance is not only morally right but essential for a future where liberty and prosperity flourish worldwide. Join me in advocating for a policy of non-interventionism that truly puts America's interests first. What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Taxation reduction, Pro-2A, Economics, Anti-War, Radical Capitalist Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why? One of my favorite figures I look up to is Joan of Arc. She fought to free her people from foreign invasion and taxation. She never gave up and endured so much to achieve her goals while living a life of purity. Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy? “Human Action” by Ludwig Von Mises is the best book to read to fully understand my political position. “Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal” by Ayn Rand is an easier to read close second. What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official? I would uphold principles focused on individual liberty, minimal government intervention, free market economics, non-interventionist foreign policy, and the protection of civil liberties. These values prioritize personal freedom and responsibility, advocating for a society where individuals have the right to live their lives as they see fit, as long as they do not harm others. What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder? I believe my steadfast commitment to libertarian ideals, such as individual liberty, minimal government intervention, and fiscal responsibility, equip me well for office. My honesty in communication and policy-making ensures transparency and trust. My dedication to these principles guides my decision-making, aiming to reduce government overreach and promote freedom. These qualities, combined with a strong ethical foundation and a proactive approach to problem-solving, position me as a candidate who can effectively advocate for change while upholding the core values of the libertarian philosophy. What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office? Libertarians believe elected officials should prioritize protecting individual liberties, upholding the rule of law, ensuring a minimalistic and efficient government that intervenes as little as possible in the lives of its citizens, defending the country against aggression while advocating for a non-interventionist foreign policy, and fostering a free-market economy. Their core responsibility is to limit government's role to what is necessary for the protection of the rights and freedoms of individuals. What legacy would you like to leave? A world set free in my lifetime. What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time? The Columbine School shooting was the first real historical event that I can remember. I was in 5th grade. What was your very first job? How long did you have it? My first on the books job was working at the Sterling Country Club at the age of 14. I had it for one season. What is your favorite book? Why? I have read 1000s of books and it’s hard to pick just one. Probably one of my top favorites is “The Sorrows of Satan” by Marie Corelli is in my top two. If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be? I would be Howard Roark in “The Fountianhead” by Ayn Rand. What was the last song that got stuck in your head? The last song stuck in my head is “I’ll Come off the Mountain” by Sierra Ferrell off her new album “Trail of Flowers” What is something that has been a struggle in your life? Facing life as a teen mom in a women's shelter, surviving domestic violence, overcoming addiction, enduring the challenges of being a lower-middle-class wife, and navigating the heartbreak of my husband's serious illness, which will leave me a young widow, have been profound struggles. These experiences have not only shaped my personal journey but have also fueled my commitment to advocating for policies that support vulnerable populations and champion individual empowerment. What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution? From a libertarian perspective, the U.S. House of Representatives’ unique qualities include its closer representation of the public due to its members’ frequent reelection every two years, which theoretically makes it more responsive to the will of the people. Its power of the purse, or ability to initiate revenue-raising measures, aligns with the libertarian emphasis on fiscal responsibility and limited government spending. Additionally, the House’s role in initiating impeachment proceedings reflects a mechanism for holding government officials accountable, resonating with the libertarian value of government accountability. Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics? No, I do not believe it’s beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics. It’s time we stop buying our way into government and hand the power back to common people like me. It was designed for regular citizens representing each other not bought and paid for cronies. What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade? Libertarians view the erosion of individual liberties, excessive government intervention and spending, and a lack of financial transparency as major challenges for the United States. They are concerned with the increasing size of government, the erosion of privacy rights, and ongoing military interventions abroad. Fiscal irresponsibility, particularly the national debt and unfunded liabilities, pose significant economic threats. Libertarians emphasize the need for a return to principles of limited government, personal freedom, and a non-interventionist foreign policy to address these challenges effectively. Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives? Yes. What are your thoughts on term limits? I am for term limits. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after? I am a die-hard Ron Paul fan, Paul was known for his advocacy of limited government, non-interventionist foreign policy, civil liberties, and a free-market economy, aligning closely with libertarian values. His consistent focus on these issues has made him a prominent figure associated with libertarianism in American politics. Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful? Yes. My own story. I am a homeschooling mom of four and I have been advocating for medical freedom for well over a decade. I got into politics to have my voice heard, and I relaxed there was no representation for someone like me. My husband is terminally ill and no one is coming to save me or my children’s future. So I am doing what I can to ensure a few world for my children and future generations. Tell us your favorite joke. We have (fill in the blank) at home. Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking? I believe in advancing liberty and I will work with others to push the needle as hard as I can for that ideal. The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected? As a libertarian elected to the House, leveraging the power to originate revenue-raising bills would be central to advocating for a smaller, more efficient government. This role would involve crafting and supporting legislation aimed at reducing taxes and government spending, thus promoting fiscal responsibility. It would also encompass scrutinizing and opposing measures that expand government's financial reach, ensuring that any new revenue requirements align strictly with constitutional liberties and the principles of minimal state intervention in the lives of individuals and the economy. How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers? Libertarians generally believe the U.S. House should use its investigative powers to ensure government transparency and accountability. They advocate for investigations into government waste, violations of civil liberties, and misuse of power. These efforts are seen as crucial for minimizing government overreach and protecting individual freedoms. What committees interest you? I might align with the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, which focuses on government operations and the federal workforce, ensuring efficiency, transparency, and accountability. Additionally, the House Committee on the Judiciary, which deals with the administration of justice within the federal courts, administrative bodies, and law enforcement agencies, could also match my interest in protecting individual liberties and ensuring accountability.
