ANNOUNCEMENT OF CANDIDACY

Cape Girardeau native Branden McCullough has always held an interest in the political climate. However, as the problems facing American citizens become more and more demanding, especially for the younger generation, he has decided to do more than complain, but instead to run for office to make changes.

Branden McCullough is running for U.S. Representative in Missouri’s 8^th District. At the age of 27, McCullough is married and has no children. McCullough is a graduate of Cape Central High School in 1997 and received his undergraduate degree at Southeast Missouri State University in 2001 with a major in history and a minor in religion. He currently is pursuing his Ph.D in history at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale where he also teaches. He is a member of Hobbs Chapel United Methodist Church in Cape Girardeau.

As a Libertarian, McCullough believes that the freedoms granted to all Americans in the Constitution have been slowly eroded away by the two ruling parties. By running for public office, he wishes to initiate reforms, which include among other issues the reduction of government interference in business and personal affairs, the elimination of stifling government oversight in our schools, such as the No Child Left Behind Act, and the choice of privatizing social security.
