The people in the 3rd Congressional District of Alabama have a unique opportunity if they are tired of the status quo in Washington D.C. Thomas SickofDC Casson (actual legal name) has qualified and will be on the ballot for the election on Nov. 8, 2022. Casson decided to change his name in 2018 to reflect his disgust with the “D.C. Swamp.”
“Both parties in D.C. have let the American people down,” Casson said. “We are now $31 trillion in debt, crime and inflation are out of control and both parties seem to not care at all about the present or the future.”
Casson is running against Republican Mike Rogers, who was first elected to Congress in 2002. “Since being elected in 2002, Rogers has never seen a budget increase he hasn’t liked,” Casson said. “The national debt has increased from $6 trillion to $31 trillion on Congressman Rogers’ watch with not a single cut to federal government spending. Rogers has been on the forefront of the status quo in D.C., and I am glad to offer my name on the ballot as an alternative. If Rogers won’t leave office voluntarily as the father of our country George Washington did, I guess the people of District 3 will need to vote him out.”
Casson currently lives in Auburn and has resided in Lee County for over 35 years. He and his wife Lorra were licensed foster parents for Lee County, and they have adopted six children through the foster care system. Their oldest child, Anna, passed away from childhood cancer in 2007. The remaining children are now 17, 15, 11 and twins at 10. Casson said he believes in smaller government, especially at the federal level, so that states can have freedom to innovate and prosper. He said he is thankful to the Libertarian Party for allowing him to have access to the ballot without onerous restrictions.
