Presidential candidate Darrell Castle promotes conservatism, constitutionalism
As Americans contemplate their options on the November ballot, Constitution Party presidential candidate Darrell Castle hopes voters will consider an alternative to the two main parties: A political party espousing strict adherence to the document that established the U.S. government more than two centuries ago.
During a campaign stop in Wyoming this week, Castle told the Laramie Boomerang he views the 2016 election as a chance for the Constitution Party to gain more national visibility. The party has already attracted supporters of former Republican candidate Sen. Ted Cruz and runner-up Libertarian candidate Austin Petersen, he said.
“So many people that we’ve talked to don’t feel like they have a legitimate choice,” Castle said. “I’ve been involved in the Constitution Party for 24 years now. This is the first election cycle where there are no other conservative candidates in the race — not even one who lies about it, like there usually is. So, we do feel good.”
Castle, an attorney and Vietnam War veteran, was born in Kingsport, Tennessee, in 1948. He has a bachelor’s degree in political science and history from East Tennessee State University and earned a law degree from Memphis State University — now the University of Memphis.
