It’s trash can, not trash can’t

Liberty Whiskers is a Libertarian who is proud to seek election to the United States House of Representatives for the TN-07.

Born in the shadows of the Brentwood Chick-fil-A and raised on discarded nuggets of liberty, Liberty Whiskers is not your average congressional candidate… he’s a self-made raccoon who worked his way out of the garbage to graduate top of his class at the Vanderbilt Owen School of Management.

Liberty had his political awakening volunteering for the 2014 Coonrippy for Governor campaign, after his aunt Rebekah was needlessly ripped away from her family and thrown in an animal control cage.

He believes in working for the 99%, not the rich. Liberty Whiskers is committed to shaking up Washington like a knocked-over garbage can at 3 a.m. He’s not here to play politics. He’s here to chew wires and fight for freedom... And he’s all out of wires.

Meet the family

Liberty Whiskers comes from a long line of independent, government-distrusting raccoons. His mother, Darla Whiskers, raised five kits on nothing but leftover fries. His father, Clint “The Claw” Whiskers, was a proud anti-establishment scavenger who once escaped a city trap using nothing but a stolen Wendy’s napkin.

Liberty has three brothers, all semi-feral and self-employed in the nighttime snack economy, and one sister, Freeda, who runs a successful compost advocacy group in East Nashville.

Liberty is married to his lovely wife Lola, and the pair have 3 children.

The Whiskers clan doesn’t believe in handouts, and they’ve always taught that freedom, like garbage, is best when fresh and unregulated.
