Protect Freedom PAC backs 'allies of Rand Paul'

New Libertarian PAC plans to promote Eric Brakey's U.S. Senate bid | Lewiston Sun Journal - Steve Collins: 

November 2, 2017 - "A new political action committee devoted to supporting 'pro-freedom and pro-liberty candidates across the country' vowed Thursday to lend a hand to Republican Eric Brakey’s U.S. Senate campaign in Maine.

"The Protect Freedom PAC said it has more than $1 million already in its coffers and plans to focus initially on helping a gubernatorial candidate in Idaho and Brakey, a state senator from Auburn who hopes next year to unseat U.S. Sen. Angus King, a first-term independent.

"The new political action committee aims to help 'current and future allies' of U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky, a lawmaker whose father, Ron Paul, helped spread libertarian thinking. Brakey has worked for the presidential campaigns of both father and son in the past.

"The lead consultant for Project Freedom PAC is Michael Biundo of New Hampshire, who served as national senior adviser to Rand Paul’s unsuccessful bid for president last year. Biundo also worked for President Donald Trump’s campaign.

"In a prepared statement, Biundo said the new organization 'believes that we need more public servants who will be strong voices for liberty. With the help of our like-minded donors, Protect Freedom PAC will utilize specific tactics, technologies, and strategies to ensure we get more pro-freedom conservatives elected to public office.'

"He said that Brakey and Idaho gubernatorial hopeful Raul Labrador 'are two perfect examples of the liberty-minded conservatives we need fighting for the values we hold dear.'"
