Blogger and founder of Justice Network, which he describes as an advocacy group; retired

Neil J. Gillespie lives in Ocala, Florida. He runs a blog and founded Justice Network, which he describes as advocacy, education and news-gathering to help people fight injustice.

As an NPA candidate, he went straight to the November 3 general election ballot without a primary.

Where Gillespie stands

Two-party system
Says he is running as an independent voice against the two-party system. He cites George Washington's Farewell Address, which urged Americans to put the nation ahead of party loyalty.
Immigration
Supports secure borders, vetting of immigrants and lawful removal of people who enter the U.S. illegally. Also supports a path to citizenship for immigrants who follow the rules, and says immigrants are essential to the economy.
Health care
Proposes national health coverage that people can opt out of. He cites his own past denial of coverage for a preexisting condition.
Courts and legal system
Calls for Congress to abolish PACER fees for federal court records. Says nonlawyers who represent themselves (pro se) in court need a 'People's union' to support them.
