Before we get to today's candidate briefing we wanted to state that Fmr. Libertarian Presidential Nominee and Texas U.S. Congressman Ron Paul has formed a presidential exploratory committee this time to run as a Republican. He will be a minor candidate and shouldn't go anywhere. Can anyone say also ran.
Now on to today's candidate, Kansas U.S. Senator Sam Brownback. Brownback has formed an exploratory committee to make a run for the presidency in 2008 and has stated he will announce be the end of the month. Brownback is in our top 5 presidential rankings, but barely. Samuel D. Brownback was born September 12, 1956 in Garnett, Kansas. During his High School years he became state president of the Future Farmers of America and he moved on to become National vice president. At Kansas State University he was elected Student Body President. He recieved a J.D. from the University of Kansas. Brownback began his career as a teacher. He then became a broadcaster and even an attorney. He began his political career as Kansas Secretary of Agriculture in 1986. He then was moved to work for the U.S. Trade Representatuve. After a year working at the White House, Brownback decided to return to his post as Secretary of Agriculture in Kansas. In 1993 he resigned and prepared for a run for the U.S. House. In 1994 he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. He didn't even finish his term in the house before he ran in a Special election to fufill Senator Bob Dole's term in office when he was running for president. He defeated Lt Governor Shelia Frahm in the primary and moved on to easily win the general and was officially made a U.S. Senator. Brownback won a full term in his own right in 1998 and in 2004 he won reelection with 69%. Brownback has announced he will not run again in 2010 for a 3rd term, becuase of his beleifs of term limits for members of congress, so this presidential run will likely be his last campaign. Brownback has never served as chariman or ranking member of a major senate committee. he currently serves on the Judiciary committee and the Senate Appropriations committee. Sen. Brownback has become the leading senator against the homosexual agenda including same sex marriage. He also defines himself as a Social conservative which has evolved from a moderate when he first ran for office. Like I said earlier this will be Brownback's last campaign and he is coming into it with about a 2-4% average in polls and a 1% average in key states like a do or die state for him Iowa. If he loses Iowa he will not win anywhere except for a possible win in Kansas if he stays in that long.
Tune in Tommorrow or the next day for tommorrow's candidate briefing on Wesley Clark.
