William B. Redpath
Background
- Holds no public office. The Libertarian Party's nominee; his campaign says he grew up in Findlay and had a 38-year career in business valuation.
- His campaign says he holds an active certified public accountant licence in Ohio and Illinois.
- His campaign describes him as a nine-time Libertarian candidate and a member of the party's national committee for 24 years, its chair from 2006 to 2010.
What they say they want to do
- An end to all tariffs, regardless of other countries' policies.
- A commission with powers like the military base-closing commission to draw up Social Security reforms for a single up-or-down vote in Congress.
- Replacing the tax code with a 20 per cent flat tax on individual income and a 20 per cent tax on distributed profits.
- Eliminating the Departments of Education and Housing and Urban Development, and ending corporate welfare and farm subsidies.
- Ranked-choice voting, multi-member House districts and the National Popular Vote compact.
What the official record shows
His campaign describes no public office he has held, and this desk found no official record of votes, bills or decisions to list. His claims about his past concern candidacies, party office and professional licences. The FEC lists six federal Libertarian candidacies under five candidate records: Virginia Senate in 2008, Virginia's 10th District in 2010 and 2014, Illinois's 6th District in 2020, filed as "Bill Redpath" and not matched to him beyond the name, Illinois Senate in 2022 and this race; his campaign says nine. State candidacies and his accountancy licences are in state records this desk did not read; the next tests are the Ohio Accountancy Board and Illinois IDFPR licence lookups.
