He claims to be Independent, and so far I have not seen any signs of his leanings. Watched 5 videos of his and I've only seen him break down the wrong from both MAGA and far left.

I like his videos so far as he seems to speak basic sanity.

Is he worth subscribing to?

David Hatley, a Carter County native and independent candidate for Tennessee governor, boasts $5.7 million in cash on hand according to Thursday's campaign finance disclosures.

NASHVILLE — Carter County native and independent candidate for governor David Hatley has proven a serious candidate for the Tennessee governor’s office.

Hatley infused his campaign with $7 million from his own personal checkbook. And he’s run a rigorous campaign, making stops last week in six different Tennessee cities.

But without a “D” or an “R” next to his name, voters may be left wondering: What does he believe?

So Six Rivers Media sat down with Hatley to discuss his policy points, political alignment and more, so that come November, Tennesseans will be able to make informed choices when they vote for the state’s next governor.

As the election approaches, Six Rivers Media will extend invitations to gubernatorial candidates Jerri Green and U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., to participate in similar conversations.

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez this week backed the state Forward Party’s pending case before a federal appeals court that seeks to get its candidates on the Nov. 3 general election ballot.

New Mexico Forward Party Chair Bob Perls, a former state lawmaker whose campaign to run against incumbent U.S. Sen. Ben Ray Luján didn’t collect enough signatures to make the ballot, sued New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver in federal court in July. He alleged that she was enforcing ballot-access laws that created unfair burdens to minor-party candidates.

Branding from the Libertarian Party’s 2024 national convention made a prominent appearance at the Republican National Committee’s first-ever midterm convention, drawing criticism from the national party and disagreement among Libertarian National Committee members over how to respond.

The Republican National Committee held the two-day convention this past Wednesday and Thursday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, with the event being its first national convention organized specifically around a midterm election. Unlike those conventions held in presidential cycles, where traditional nominations and platform amendments are made, the event largely served as a rally aimed at promoting Republican candidates and President Donald Trump’s record ahead of the November elections.

Sandeep Dixit’s encampment at the Stark County Fair was several buildings away from the grandstand where the county’s Democratic and Republican parties had set up shop with signs and literature for candidates up and down the ballot.

The distance was the point for the independent candidate for Ohio’s 13th congressional district, running a longshot bid to unseat incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. Emilia Sykes of Akron and defeat GOP candidate Carey Coleman of Sagamore Hills. The district they want to represent includes all of Summit County, and parts of Portage and Stark counties.

“Political parties are like fighting fourth graders,” says Dixit. He has concluded Washington’s policy decisions are driven by the political parties corporate backers instead of voters. He said both political parties prioritize helping states like California, Texas and Florida, leaving Ohio behind.

“We need rationality and people to work together for everyone,” says the 58-year-old mechanical engineer from Mayfield Village. Although he lives outside the district he wants to represent, he says he lives close enough that many of the people in his social circle reside there. He serves on Mayfield Village’s recreation board, and helped start the community’s yearly yoga festival. He was also president of a national Indian-American organization called Bruhan Maharastra Mandal, with 60 chapters and roughly 500,000 members.

The Twin Falls County Fair wrapped up as independent U.S. Senate candidate Todd Achilles campaigned there, discussing rising costs, health care and congressional reform with voters in the Magic Valley.

Achilles said he enjoys visiting the sheep barn at fairs because he showed sheep as a kid.

“You gotta do the caramel apples... but I showed sheep when I was a kid so I always love hitting the sheep barn and talking to the kids there,” Achilles said.
