Randy Heine isn't exactly what you'd call a traditional candidate for public office. He's fighting pending criminal charges of growing marijuana in his house. In the early 1990s, he pleaded guilty to a federal charge of selling drug paraphernalia across state lines.
Bureaucrats are in control.
Heine's platform is a meandering amalgamation of the politics of personal freedoms, campaign finance reform and the need to check burgeoning governmental bureaucracy. For the last two years, Young has held the powerful position of chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. The other candidate, Green, who markets student loans and payment plans to colleges, is affiliated with the Natural Law Party. She said the party's philosophy jibes with her own and that realization brought her to the congressional race. That's what I represent.
