Background, stated goals, record, and money

Background comes from official records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so; goals are summarized from the campaign's own platform and stay attributed; the record lines are official actions with the government source attached; money is shown as filed, with the filing window and the reconciliation in the note under the table, and is not evidence of why any position was taken.

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. Redpath for US Senate Committee
  • His campaign says he holds an active certified public accountant licence in Ohio and Illinois. Redpath for US Senate Committee
  • 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. Redpath for US Senate Committee

What they say they want to do

  • An end to all tariffs, regardless of other countries' policies. Redpath for US Senate Committee
  • 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. Redpath for US Senate Committee

  • Ranked-choice voting, multi-member House districts and the National Popular Vote compact. Redpath for US Senate Committee

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.
