As soon as I read his reply on the issue of healthcare, my eyes got wide.
Check out his website on issues like education, war on drugs, and the rest:

Of course, he's not perfect, but definitely looks like something worth trying.
When I first saw the "software engineer" I was like "what if the computer programmer-libertarian hypothesis is true? Then I opened it and was like Oooooh yeahhhh.
Anyway, he appears to be a statist, but it appears he would be a Pareto-efficient step towards liberty. Maybe besides the abortion thing. Hm.
Wow. He may have done well to keep his age more of a secret. He could have easily passed as someone at least 10 years older and had a much easier time with campaigning.
Certainly looks like a software engineer though.
On a similar note, check out the Democrat running in New York's 12th District.
