Robert Sarvis Considering U.S. Senate Run Against Warner

From Ballot Access News:

According to this story, Rob Sarvis, the Libertarian nominee for Governor of Virginia last month, says he may run as a Libertarian for U.S. Senate in 2014. The story also mentions the interesting detail that, after the election, Sarvis phoned Terry McAuliffe to congratulate McAuliffe on his victory, yet Ken Cuccinelli, the Republican nominee, never made such a phone call to McAuliffe.

From the article cited, written by Skip Wood:

“Right now I’ve just been kind of talking to some folks in the Libertarian of Virginia, seeing more how to proceed, how to send the message of Libertarianism,” he says. (Seeing how to grow the movement), “and trying to get more candidates. There’s all the special elections next year, you know. As for me, I don’t know yet, there is some interest in seeing me run again, and I’m not averse to it but certainly my wife would have veto power, and I haven’t even approached her yet, so…”

…

“I think the U.S. Senate race next year is a possibility depending on a lot of things,” Sarvis says. “That’s one of things I want to focus in the next month, to see how many Libertarian candidates we can get to run for the congressional races. If we can get a bunch, that would help.

“And it doesn’t have to be me — if there’s a better candidate, I’m happy to step aside — but I think I would have a lot to offer.”
