US Senate candidate and pizza delivery man reflects on campaign

Sean Haugh, North Carolina Libertarian Senate candidate, has the power to swing the vote in this year's election between Republican candidate Thom Tillis and Democrat candidate Kay Hagan who are currently in a statistical dead heat.

The 53-year-old pizza-delivering Libertarian candidate running for U.S. Senate against Thom Tillis and Kay Hagan says he doesnt want any part of the campaigns negativity and attack ads.

In light of a recent analysis that found North Carolinas Senate race has featured more negative ads than any other state, Sean Haugh said in an interview on Friday that his campaign has focused on the positive reasons N.C. residents should vote for him.

Haugh, a Durham resident, thinks Tilliss and Hagans negative ads will help him in the race.

People look at that, and theyre just so disgusted by it, and then they find out they have a third choice on the ballot, he said. Ive been getting a tremendous response from people who are turned off by all that negativity.

It is Haughs sixth time running for political office. He said he has always stood for Libertarian views.

We need to balance the budget at a much lower level, get out in front of this debt and let people keep more of the money that they earn, he said.

AlthoughHaugh has garnered at most 8 percent of the vote in polls this fall, he said the people who vote for him send a strong message to Democrats and Republicans that theyre going to have to start holding more Libertarian views.

He said he ran on an act of conscience because neither Hagan nor Tillis would try to curb war.
