Martin Luecke Launches Indie Congressional Bid For #TX25, To Save Humanity From Climate Change, Extinction [TXPolitics 24/7 blog]

A self-described Austin "handyman" has jumped into the US House district 25 race this week in an attempt to "save humanity" from climate change and ultimate extinction.

The single-issue campaign, if it gains enough signatures to get on the ballot, will take on sitting Republican Congressman Roger Williams, Democrat Julie Oliver and Libertarian Desarae Lindsey in November.

The Austin Chronicle, in a brief interview with Luecke, 56, reported that he believes that neither party is adequately responding to the global warming crisis – the imminent threat of "abrupt climate change." He said, "The number one priority is to make people aware of the real danger: planetary extinction."

He called a letter he wrote to the Chronicle last September - in which he defended 9/11 conspiracy theories - as "indefensible and goofy."
