Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Larry Stafford running for US Senate?

To apply common sense solutions to America's problems. Larry is fed up with the nonsense spewed out of Washington by the professional political class and their special interest supporters. He knows that his working-man's attitude is desperately needed to clean out the gunk in our nation's capital and make our government run more efficiently and effectively.

Is Larry Stafford qualified to be a United States Senator?

Larry is not only qualified, he's the best candidate for the job. Not only by his common sense approach to problem solving, but also because of his respect for the US Constitution.
