ROANOKE (WSLS) - For those that know him, there are a variety of opinions about Libertarian Senate candidate Robert Sarvis. That's especially true for his opponents. <\/p>\n
\"I think Mr. (Robert) Sarvis brings an eclectic set of views,\" said Sen. Mark Warner (D-Virginia. \"I think he pushes both candidates.\" <\/p>\n
\"People are free to run here,\" said Republican candidate Ed Gillespie. \"I think at the end of the day Virginians are going to look at this race and say either Ed Gillespie or Mark Warner is going to be the next Senator from Virginia.\" <\/p>\n
Believe it or not, Sarvis agrees. <\/p>\n
The Libertarian once again finds himself running for statewide office. <\/p>\n
Last year it was the governor's race against Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Ken Cuccinelli. This year it's the Senate. <\/p>\n
\"I think I have a lot of support that carries over to another statewide race,\" Sarvis said. \"But also, I wanted to recruit other candidates.\" <\/p>\n
Seven Libertarian candidates will be on the ballot in Congressional races in Virginia. They're all considered heavy underdogs. <\/p>\n
Sarvis is keeping his campaign simple, focusing on improving the job market, respecting civil liberties and fixing healthcare. <\/p>\n
\"Both of those parties have given us 100 years of bad regulations which has increased the cost of healthcare,\" he said. \"The best thing to do is deregulate and have open and competitive markets.\" <\/p>\n
