The buzz in the room is almost deafening as about 30 Libertarian candidates and party supporters gather around the three flat-screen TVs inside the dimly lit Jalisco Cantina on Tuesday night. <\/p>\n
Fk you, dude! Tasha Heath, co-founder of the Southern Nevada Watchdogs group, shouts above the rest as local news stations show Governor Brian Sandoval making his victory speech. <\/p>\n
Im a liberty person, not a party person, she says as she explains how her dislike of the governor stems from his forcing taxes and Republican beliefs on us. <\/p>\n
Many others in the room echo her sentiments as they angrily call out at the television. <\/p>\n
Sitting at a table with friends and volunteers, Libertarian candidate for Congressional District 4, Steve Brown, is oblivious to the commotion as he tracks his opponents election results through his cellphone. <\/p>\n
Hes behind, he says, comparing Democratic incumbent Steven Horsfords numbers to Republican candidate Cresent Hardys. Hes behind by about 2,000 votes. <\/p>\n
For the past few months, Brown and his supporters have been campaigning in the neighborhoods of Congressional District 4, which includes the area of West Las Vegas, near Bonanza Road and Rancho Drive. <\/p>\n
He says he joined the political race with the everyday American in mind, which is why he ran on the platform of legalizing marijuana, stopping the war on drugs and halting the taxation of the American people. <\/p>\n
Brown, who works as both a licensed masonry contractor and a table games dealer at the Four Queens Hotel, considers politics a labor of love. <\/p>\n
Although he and many of his fellow Libertarian candidates do not expect to win any office, they thrive on the idea of making themselves heard and taking votes away from the major contenders. <\/p>\n
