The field of candidates for northeast Indiana's open congressional seat has grown to three.The Indiana Libertarian Party's Central Committee has selected Pepper Snyder of Huntington as its candidate for the U.S. House from the state's 3rd District.Snyder, 40, is a benefit recovery specialist for Xerox and is married to Gary Snyder, managing editor of the internet radio station IndianaTalks.com . She filed a candidacy statement last week with the Federal Election Commission.She will face Republican state Rep. Jim Banks of Columbia City and Democrat Tommy Schrader of Fort Wayne in the Nov. 8 general election. The 3rd District has been represented continuously by Republicans since 1995; third-term Rep. Marlin Stutzman sought the GOP nomination for a Senate seat in the May primary election, losing to Rep. Todd Young, R-9th.Pepper Snyder said Tuesday in a statement that she will campaign in support of "individual liberty and fiscal responsibility.""Too often candidates look to government to micromanage both society and the economy. I am the only candidate running in the Third Congressional District who wants government out of both our personal lives and our wallets," she said.Snyder said on her campaign website that she opposes U.S. military action except in defense of the nation; favors abolishing the National Security Agency and repealing the Patriot Act, which sets parameters for government surveillance; supports shortening waiting periods for immigrants to become U.S. citizens; opposes "a religious litmus test" for immigrants or refugees trying to enter the country; and opposes government authority over marriage by consenting adults.Libertarian candidate Scott Wise received 4.1 percent of the vote in both the 2014 and 2010 general elections in the 3rd District, and Libertarian candidate William Larsen received 5.3 percent of the vote in the 2008 election. The Libertarian Party did not run a candidate in the 3rd District in 2012.The 3rd District consists of 10 counties in northeast Indiana and parts of two other counties.
