Karl Wimmer has declared his candidacy for the US Congress in Utah even though the Congressional District boundaries have yet to be decided. Most plans put the southwest portion of Salt Lake County into the 4th Congressional District.
For those of you unfamiliar with Wimmer, here is what I know about him.
-He is a member of the Patrick Henry Caucus. This is not a Tea Party Group. This group believes in a weaker federal government and stronger state governments. Their belief is that the various states can run many things better than the Federal government can. They are for the dismantling of the US Department of Education and various other Federal agencies. This will allow for lower Federal taxes, but will obviously lead to higher state taxes.
-Wimmer has appeared on the Glen Beck show appealing for states rights.
-Otherwise, Wimmer totes the Tea Party line.
