Bitcoin is not new for a political campaign, as the Libertarian Party of the U.S. already accepts them in donation. Now, this firebrand Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockmanon has announced that he will be accepting Bitcoin for his campaigning. He is a far-right conservative who has called for the president’s impeachment.
Earlier on December 9, 2013, Steve Stockman filed for the Republican nomination of U.S. Senate for Texas against incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn. Though Cornyn has gathered quite a lot of money for his campaign, Stockman who has been lagging behind has now started to accept the latest technology and announced that his supporters may now pay in Bitcoin.
Born on November 14, 1956, this American politician has been the United States Representative for Texas’s 36th congressional district since 2013. Steve is a staunch Republican and had earlier served as the U.S. Representative for Texas’s 9th congressional district from 1995 to 1997. Thus, he comes with a lot of experience and now running against Texas U.S. Senator John Cornyn in the 2014 Republican primary.
