Dendahl Jolts GOP Again.
Byline: Michael Coleman Journal Staff Writer
* Chairman joins Libertarian group, unsettling some in Republican Party
New Mexico Republican Party Chairman John Dendahl is showing some libertarian stripes, and it's making some of his fellow Republicans nervous.
This month, the outspoken party boss joined the advisory board of the Republican Liberty Caucus, a 10-year-old political action group that recruits GOP candidates with libertarian leanings.
The organization supports, among other possibly controversial views, abolishing the Department of Education, eliminating farm and Medicare subsidies and shifting the responsibility for drug laws from the federal government to local communities. Libertarians generally believe in maximum personal freedom and a minimum of government intervention.
Dendahl had to defend himself as party chairman earlier this year when he voiced support for drug legalization at a public rally with Gov. Gary Johnson, who also supports legalization.
