Larry Elder’s Political Views
Though philosophically libertarian, Elder’s views have always been described as conservative. After being registered as a Republican in 2008, he said in an interview with The New Individualist Magazine, “A lot of my listeners will often call up and say, ‘I preferred you when you were a Libertarian.’ I always tell them I never was a ‘capital-L Libertarian.’ I am still ‘small-l.’ It’s a philosophy to me, not a party”. He has also openly supported Republicans, Harry Browne, George W. Bush, and John McCain during their presidential campaigns in 2000, 2004, and 2008, respectively.
In 2000, Roll Call reported that Elder had contemplated running for the United States Senate against California’s Senator, Barbara Boxer.
