Linda says she quit practicing law for money because she couldn’t offer people any assurance that they’d obtain justice. Watching Congress brought her to the same conclusion. She’d like to see the federal government keep it’s hands off state affairs, eliminate international entanglements, restrain itself to Constitutionally mandated issues, and cease taking personal property through taxation and excessive regulation.
I did not see myself running for Congress until I realized how urgently we need new leadership, leadership that trusts the people and the state and local governments to govern themselves. It’s been a thrill to discover that this simple message of freedom resonates with so many people. I feel passionately about many specific issues, but it all boils down to one uncomplicated thing: we need less government, not more.
– Linda Goldthorpe
Linda’s family has lived in Michigan’s upper peninsula for over a hundred years, at the same site on Big Manistique Lake. A graduate of Northern Michigan University and Thomas Cooley Law School, she and her husband, former US Marine George Miller, homeschool their two teenage sons.
As a pro bono attorney, Linda has watched the decay of our liberties and privacy with real concern, and seeks to halt the devaluation of our dollar and expansion of top-heavy government. Linda believes that limiting government to its surprisingly small Constitutional role would accomplish much towards these goals.
Goldthorpe states, “As your representative, I’ll commit to evaluate government actions and legislation in light of its adherence to the principles of the US Constitution, and fight against unnecessary and costly legislation. I’d like my new colleagues in Congress to get reacquainted with the word no.”
