2016

See also: United States Senate election in Wisconsin, 2016

The race for Wisconsin's U.S. Senate seat was one of nine competitive battleground races in 2016 that helped Republicans maintain control of the Senate. Incumbent Ron Johnson (R) defeated former Senator Russ Feingold (D) and Phil Anderson (L) in the general election on November 8, 2016.

In a rematch of the 2010 election, Johnson defeated Feingold for a second time to retain his Senate seat. Johnson trailed in the polls for most of the election. In the final weeks of the election, Johnson received funding from national Republicans. Johnson said, "I wish I would have had the cavalry show up in June, July, August when Feingold was using his little moneymaking machine to out resource me. I guess, better late than never."

Feingold reacted to his loss by saying to supporters, “I didn’t expect this outcome, to be honest with you.” Commenting on his loss and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s, Feingold said, “I would urge you to be as restrained as you can be as the next steps occur...this could be one the most challenging times in the history of our country.”

Johnson, who defeated Feingold by three percentage points, said in his victory speech, "I believe America has given us a chance, an opportunity to put this nation on the right path. It's exactly what I intend to do."

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Phil Anderson is a libertarian whose focus is disrupting the corruption that has created an endless warfare state, polluted the public discourse with lies and manipulation, and wasted billions of taxpayer dollars.

Phil has rich history in both activism and electoral politics. From serving on the Libertarian National Committee to leadership roles within Wisconsin's Libertarian Party, he has always advocated for promoting individual liberty, limited government, and fiscal responsibility. In addition to his political activity, he is also a loving father, a passionate baseball fan, a devoted Eastern Orthodox Christian, and an accomplished winemaker.

Phil Anderson's political motivation is a commitment to disrupting the culture of rampant corruption in government. Serving as the Chair of the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin and on the Libertarian National Committee, Phil has played a role in raising the party’s profile. Anderson has campaigned for the Wisconsin State Assembly, Governor of Wisconsin, and the U.S. Senate with an unwavering desire to serve. In spite of not being successful in securing electoral victories, Anderson's campaigns are consistently principled in challenging the status quo, drawing attention to issues such as government overreach, excessive spending, and the need for a more accountable and transparent political system.

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?

• I am 100% anti-aggression and anti-war and believe that the only lawful, moral use of force is in self-defense. Our US government, however, has been engaged in immoral violence for over 70 years - starting wars and proxy wars, toppling democratically-elected governments, and bombing innocent people. We must rise up to stop this madness. The federal government, via control of the 2 party system and its sponsors, have sacrificed our citizens' lives, health, economic resources, and the goodwill of our world neighbors - NOT for self-defense, but rather to enrich the military industrial complex which has effectively purchased control of it.
• Freedom of speech is a basic human right- it belongs to humans. All speech, in every form, including hate speech, should be protected, as 'hate' can be pretty subjective, and the term misused.

  Further, corporations should not be granted free speech rights.  
  

  Lastly, whistleblowers and those who publish whistleblowers should be defended by law as well.

  As your Senator, I will support freedom of all speech, seek to nullify the idea of freedom of speech for corporations, pardon Julian Assange, Edward Snowden and others, and repeal the Espionage Act.
• The Second Amendment codifies our basic human right to self-defense. While the wording of the amendment is unclear, and in some dispute, the right to self-defense is clearly among the other enumerated rights such as speech, press, due process, etc., as fundamentally belonging to each human being - not granted by government. I agree with - and support - Article I, § 25 of the Wisconsin Constitution, adopted in 1998, which states: “the people have the right to keep and bear arms for security, defense, hunting, recreation or any other lawful purpose.” As your next US senator, I'll advocate that the government continue to protect and safeguard an individual’s right to self-defense.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Ending corruption and the capture of the federal government by big lobbies and interests, war and peace, health care freedom, free speech, right to self defense, abolishing the IRS, CIA, and other agencies, cannabis freedom, ending civil asset forfeiture and qualified immunity, making the farm bill at least fair to family farms and small producers, normalizing immigration, #Bitcoin and other crypto freedom, fighting against a Central Bank Digital Currency, auditing he Federal Reserve, end government marriage licensing, improving ballot and debate access for 3rd party and independent candidates, prohibiting vaccine mandates and business/school shutdowns, ending the income tax, repealing the Jones Act, police reform, no public sector unions.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I look up to Congressman Justin Amash, who, as a libertarian serving in Congress as a Republican, stood up for peace and liberty against even his own party, and when it was no longer tenable to continue, changed party affiliation. I appreciate Thomas Massie's principles and fearlessness.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Law, by Frederic Bastiat.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Any elected official must be duty-bound to only represent their constituents, and not the specific interests of donors and lobbies. They must demand that they have time to read bills before voting, and that bills be accurately named. They must fight for the Constitutional rights of their constituents, not join with lobbies and bureaucratic state to stifle the rights of citizens. They must INSIST on transparency, and not participating in the coverup of government activities.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

1) I'm honest

2) I'm competent

3) I have great respect for the US Constitution and the principles therein.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Fight for peace, prosperity, and transparency in government.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

I remember watching the stories on TV about the Watergate scandal, and Nixon's resignation. I was 9 when Nixon resigned.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I briefly washed dishes at a Ponderosa Steakhouse restaurant near my middle school, for about 3 months.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Illiberal Reformers by Thomas Leonard

The Law by Frederic Bastiat

The Bible

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

'Flirtin with Disaster' by Molly Hatchett, 'Houdini' by Foster the People.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

1) Unwinding and reeling in the war machine.

2) Getting control of the federal budget and national debt

3) Enforcing the 1st Amendment on the government so that people can know, without having to sue the government or file FOIA requests, what their government is doing.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for senators to have previous experience in government or politics?

Theoretically, maybe, but the problem is that the 2 big parties prefer candidates and representatives who will comply with corruption and deceit. Therefore, potential senators with previous experience in government or politics are by far the MOST likely to be compromised and corrupt.

Is there a particular senator, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Rand Paul is a good example of the Senator I'd like to be, but even he is compromised at times by his party affiliation.

Tell us your favorite joke.

I can't. ;)

How would you evaluate a judicial nominee?

1) Are they honest?

2) Are they competent?

3) Are they loyal to the Constitution?

What kind of relationships would you build with other senators?

The other Senators will know exactly where I stand on issues. I will cordially discuss issues and bills with other Senators, building professional relationships, while trying to move the needle toward liberty, prosperity, peace and transparency.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

It depends on what is being compromised and why. As an independent libertarian in the Senate, and likely the only one, I won't be in a position to dictate terms. In every situation, I'll measure the gain vs loss in any proposed compromise.

How should the U.S. Senate use its investigative powers?

To fight corruption. But generally it doesn't. This must change.

What criteria would you apply when deciding whether to confirm presidential appointees to their Cabinet?

1) Are they competent?

2) Are they honest?

3) Will they conduct their business with a constant for the Constitution and the rights of citizens and taxpayers?

What committees interest you?

Foreign Relations, Budget, Armed Services.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

The people should expect, and elect representatives who will fight for, complete transparency of the federal government, and expect that government to be able to explain and account for every single penny that is extracted by force from the citizens via taxation.

EVERY. SINGLE. PENNY.

• Wisconsin needs leadership, and the Democratic Governor and legislators have failed to provide leadership. I will lead parties in conflict to discussion and finding common ground.
• We need to rethink and reinvent public education, for the benefit of students and families. Families deserve more choices, and deserve to keep the resources necessary to best educate their kids.

2016

Anderson issued the following statement regarding his bid for office:

“	As U.S. Senator, I will fight to return our Federal government to its Constitutional limits. I will work to reduce the size and scope of government by reducing and eliminating government agencies such as the IRS, and the Departments of Education, Energy, Interior, and others; as well as abolish the Federal Reserve. I will work to enhance America's competitive position in the global economy, by tirelessly fighting to bring our troops home, end U.S. illegal and immoral military aggression everywhere, and establish peaceful relations with other nations based on free markets and trade.	”
—Phillip Anderson

2014

Anderson's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Decrease the tax burden on citizens and businesses

• Excerpt: "The larger the government intrusion into the economy, the more of a drag it is on free commerce. Every time an individual or business has to contend with an unnecessary regulatory burden, the cost is counted in time and money. Individuals and small business suffer the most, as larger enterprises have the resources to deal with larger regulatory burdens."

Reduce the regulatory burden on new and existing businesses

• Excerpt: "Corruption. As large entities are favored in a highly regulated economy, their influence on the political process, and on individual politicians, grows and takes over the process. How many regulations favor large corporations and discourage individuals from starting new businesses, and stifle growth of existing small businesses?"

Enact comprehensive campaign finance reform. Corporations are not people

• Excerpt: "Property. Property is not just real estate, or your old pickup truck. Your property is anything you own, and the wealth or value you create with your own resources, time and skill. Everyone has the right to dispose of their own property as they see fit. A majority of citizens within a political boundary should not be able to deprive a minority, not even a single person, of their lawful property. Workers can organize and represent their interest as a group, and a business can choose or choose not to negotiate with that group, at their own risk. Why? Because the workers are representing their own property rights, i.e. the fruit of their labor, and businesses are exercising their right to dispose of their own capital. To regulate the economy in favor of one side or the other skews the free negotiation between two legitimate competing interests, and restricts the potential prosperity of everyone involved."
