TED BROWN KICKS OFF U.S. SENATE CAMPAIGN AS ALTERNATIVE TO CORRUPT TWO-PARTY SYSTEM
Austin, TX, June 16, 2026 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Libertarian Ted Brown just began his maverick U. S. Senate race against Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico. Brown won the nomination at the Libertarian Party’s state convention April 11 and will appear on the November ballot as the alternative to the two major parties.

Brown, 65, a retired insurance adjuster and small business owner from Austin, is a longtime Libertarian Party activist. In 2024, He ran against Ted Cruz and Colin Allred and won 267,039 votes, a record number of votes for a Libertarian Senate candidate in Texas.

“I am looking for politically homeless voters who reject the corrupt two-party system that has brought our country to a crisis point,” said Brown. “My campaign will appeal to Republicans who yearn for the limited government and fiscal responsibility they once championed. Many Republicans are dismayed that their party nominated one of the most corrupt Texas officials in memory for Senator.” Brown supports digital privacy and other personal liberties that are being snatched away by both major parties. Brown is also courting voters who are sick and tired of military interventions and endless wars and want our elected officials to handle problems here at home.

Brown stresses that he is not beholden to any special interest groups or corrupt party leaders. “I have no connection to the insiders in Washington. I’m not going there to schmooze with lobbyists and raise money from special interests. I’ll be an independent voice for Texas who will protect and defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I’m ready to aggressively oppose the ill-considered, costly bills that Congress regularly passes, as well as oppose the Executive Branch whenever it violates the separation of powers and rule of law.”

Dear Hunter Biden: I don't care if you look at my phone. There's nothing inappropriate or "off-color" there. Or you could just ask the FBI what's on my phone - thanks to FISA 702, I'm pretty sure they already know.

The only thing I want my wireless company to stand for is a strong signal and a reliable price.

Repost if you’re PROUD to be Libertarian!

@jackunheard Complacency has cost Republicans a lot of elections.

@AP4Liberty Complacency has lost Republicans a lot of elections. Y’all need to get busy putting out this dumpster fire, now that you’ve lit it.

[Jodi Berls @berlsjw]

Dear Texas GOP: I do hope you are not planning to get complacent about the race for U.S. Senate. By nominating Ken Paxton, you have lost the votes of:
- 100% of Libertarians (who might’ve been inclined to vote Republican in an effort to thwart a truly noxious Democrat)
- a lot of independents
- many evangelicals (who will find James Talarico’s claim to piety more appealing than Paxton’s obvious amorality)
- every Republican woman whose spouse ever did her dirty

Many of those folks won’t switch their vote from Republican to Democrat, but they can and likely will just stay home.

If Talarico is half as smart as I think he is, he will try to come across as a moderate (which he is not). It’s going to take more than endlessly rerunning old clips about veganism and the trans issue to overcome that. You need to come at his actual policy positions. And try to come up with something positive to say about Paxton, other than that he’s Donald Trump’s pet (good luck with that.)

@HoustonChron You misspelled serpent.

[Jodi Berls @berlsjw]

@Mike_in_Houston No one cares.

[Jodi Berls @berlsjw]

@jt_ennis @HoustonChron @jamestalarico They misspelled serpent.

[Jodi Berls @berlsjw]

@itsrosesm Excellent, that’s how I’d feel.

[Jodi Berls @berlsjw]

@ScottJenningsKY No, I’m going to do the only logical thing and vote for Libertarian Ted Brown.

[Jodi Berls @berlsjw]

@DavidCookTexas @mayes_middleton What an incredible stinking, steaming crock of crap.

[The_Other_Me @MAGA_Idiocracy]

@FoxNews And the message is:

“Texas is as corrupt as D.C.”

[Jodi Berls @berlsjw]

@Jim_Jordan @RealDeanCain That’s your job, isn’t it? Get busy.

[Jodi Berls @berlsjw]

@TexasGOP Thanks for screwing us over, Scott. Texas won’t forget this.

[Jodi Berls @berlsjw]

So it’s official: Texas will be represented in the Senate by either a complete lunatic or the most corrupt dirtbag in the state. We are so screwed.

The absolute tyranny of property taxes.

The core conceit is that you do not actually own your property. The government owns it and they are leasing it back to you under permanent threat of confiscation.

@beinlibertarian This boomer has been a Libertarian for more than 50 years, so maybe you should find somebody else to blame…like a Libertarian party that hasn’t had a consistent, coherent message in decades.
