My name is Tim McMaster, and I am the Libertarian Candidate for Pennsylvania Senator from the 48th District. A district that has not had a real choice in representation this century.

I am NOT a career politician. I am a concerned citizen who wants to make a difference in my town, my county, my state and my nation. I will fight against all legislation that further restricts your liberty, digs deeper into your wallet or increases Harrisburg's control over your life, livelihood and family

This campaign isn't about me. It's about you. It's about freedom and liberty. And it's about making a real change to Harrisburg's crony politics.

Join me in trying to once again Make Pennsylvania Free Again!

• I will oppose ANY legislation or legislative action that infringes upon the liberty and freedom of Pennsylvanians. I will will fight tooth and nail against any legislation that restricts the natural rights of Pennsylvanians.

• I will work tirelessly to reduce the taxes that hard working Pennsylvanians pay.
• I will work to decriminalize victimless crimes in Pennsylvania, as well as tirelessly work to expunge the records of those who have been convicted and/or incarcerated for a these offences.

On Day One, my goal will be to fully open Pennsylvania's economy with no governmental restrictions. I would encourage all businesses to voluntarily follow the CDC recommended guidelines for health and safety, but these guidelines would not be enforced under penalty of law. No government employee or legislator knows how to run your business. I am passionate about preserving and expanding the rights of hard working Pennsylvanians, while eliminating government waste, abuse and scope.

An empathy for the plight of the working person. And, in my case, an extreme distaste for corruption, waste and abuse by elected legislators.

Once elected, it is often forgotten by the elected that they are a public SERVANT. It is service, and that fact should never be forgotten. You are there as a representative of the people, not a leader or official. A representative.

The very first distinct memory I have is of the shooting of Ronald Reagan. As an impressionable 6 year old, it left a major impact on me. The way that President Reagan handled the incident with dignity, humor and resolve was inspirational.

Either "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand or "You Can Farm" by Joel Salatin

No. I believe that having less experience in the 'status quo' of crony politics is a major benefit. I do not believe that being an elected representative should be a career.

I would like to in whatever committee would provide the best opportunity to help the people and with luck, make itself irrelevant by returning the power to the people!

The closest would be George Washington. Because he served his county, then returned to his real career, never returning to public office.
