Tim Justice, of Lefors, Texas, officially announced his candidacy for the office of District 88 State Representative in the state of Texas today. Justice, 35, is running as a Libertarian.
Justice, who writes under the pen name Gideon MacLeish, is running on a platform of restoring rights to individuals as established under the United States and Texas Bill of Rights. He supports legislation similar to that being considered in the state of Pennsylvania under the Family Preservation Act that would limit the authority of officials in the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to damage families based on anonymous tips and would assert and guarantee rights to families that are accused of wrongdoing similar to those rights already guaranteed in criminal matters. He is hoping to bring awareness to the many injustices suffered by families "in the system" who are targets of false allegations.
Justice is further hoping to work to establish a privately funded public transportation system for sparsely populated areas such as the Texas Panhandle, where he resides.
