Libertarian To Be Elected? An Interview with Libertarian City Councilman Ed Coleman

"The numbers are looking pretty good that I'm going to officially win as a libertarian this time," says Indianapolis City Councilman Ed Coleman.

Coleman is currently running for re-election to Indianapolis City Council in November, and hopes to continue his libertarian policies as an official member of the Libertarian Party, after leaving the Republican Party during his previous term.

At FreedomFest 2011, Reason's Matt Welch sat down with Coleman to talk about which issues he has already tackled while in office, and what he plans to do during his next term, if elected.

Held each July in Las Vegas, FreedomFest is attended by around 2,000 libertarians and advocates of limited government. Reason.tv spoke with over two dozen speakers and attendees and will be releasing interviews over the coming weeks. For an ever-growing playlist, go here now.
