Andre Barnett

He appeared on the ballot in one state and was a certified write-in candidate in several others, ultimately receiving just under 1,000 votes nationally.

In 2014, he ran for the Republican nomination in New York's 18th congressional district, but failed to submit enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot.

He served until 2000, when he was discharged following a helicopter accident in Sarajevo which left Barnett disabled and forced to undergo surgery.

[2][4] Barnett's modeling work appeared on websites which drew a primarily gay male readership.

[18] Barnett was listed as a candidate in a Florida poll conducted by Suffolk University, which found him drawing zero percent support in the state.

[23][24] On foreign policy, Barnett argued for removing the military from abroad and instead using it to address homeland security.

[25] He indicated in a questionnaire that he supports expanding free trade, although his platform included the implementation of tariffs on imported goods.

[23][25] In a January 2012 OnTheIssues questionnaire, Barnett indicated that he opposed same-sex domestic partnerships, a position which some political commentators felt was in opposition to his audience during his fitness modeling career.

[2][5][6] The Frederick Douglass Foundation of New York, a conservative public policy and educational organization, praised Barnett in an October 2011 article, deeming him a true conservative and commending his political positions; however, the article did not formally endorse Barnett, and urged him to consider running with the Republican Party instead.
