Rustin Provance
Background
- Holds no public office. He writes that he went to prison weeks after his eighteenth birthday for property crimes committed as a minor, served thirteen and a half years, and tutored for the G.E.D. while inside.
- Since his release he has earned an HVAC-R certificate through trade school and moved to Wisconsin; he describes a family of seven.
- He stood for this seat as a Libertarian in 2022 and as an independent in 2024, and his committee has been registered with the Federal Election Commission since December 2023.
What they say they want to do
- A two-term limit on legislators, matching the presidency, which he says he will hold himself to whether or not it is enacted.
- Ending the Federal Reserve and its fiat currency, with the currency backed by tangible goods instead.
- Dismantling the Department of Education, with funding following home-schooled children and any surplus going toward college.
- Accountability for judges and prosecutors, and term limits on the Supreme Court, while distinguishing individual officers from a system he says is broken.
- Stronger relations with native nations, which he describes as poor at best, and steady rather than swinging military funding.
What the official record shows
He has never held public office, so there is no official record of votes, bills or decisions to list. He withdrew from this race in 2022 and again in 2024 before either election, so neither run produced a result to record. His campaign makes no claim about a record of his own for this column to test.
Campaign money from other committees, by type
There is no money table because there is no money report. His principal campaign committee has filed statements of organization in December 2023 and April 2025, and nothing else. Across two cycles it has never filed a report of receipts and disbursements, which is consistent with his statement that he will not be taking donations.
