Richard Campagna

Richard V. Campagna of Iowa City, Iowa was the vice-presidential nominee of the Libertarian Party in the 2004 U.S. presidential election. Campagna was chosen at the 2004 Libertarian National Convention along with Libertarian presidential nominee Michael Badnarik.

Campagna resides in Iowa. He works as a businessman, consultant, and attorney, and is an active proponent of existentialism.

Campagna holds degrees from Brown University (B.A.), New York University (M.A.), St. John's University (J.D.), and Columbia University (M.A.). Campagna has a PhD from American College of Metaphysical Theology.

In 2002, Campagna ran on the Libertarian ticket for lieutenant governor of Iowa with gubernatorial candidate Clyde Cleveland; together, they placed fourth, receiving 13,098 votes, or 1.3% of the total vote cast.

In mid-2003, Campagna became the first candidate to enter the race for the Libertarian Party's vice-presidential nomination (the Libertarian party chooses its presidential and vice-presidential nominees in convention on separate ballots). He defeated his closest competition, Missouri libertarian Tamara Millay, on the first ballot at the May 2004 Libertarian National Convention.

The presidential ticket of Badnarik and Campagna placed fourth in the 2004 presidential election, earning just under 400,000 votes nationwide and no electoral votes.

Richard Campagna was born in New York, NY. After graduation from Brown University, NYU and Saint John's he worked as lead counsel for the Motion Picture Association under movie mogul Jack Valenti. Campagna is a multi disciplinary advocate and in addition to law, has been a psychologist, interpreter, collegiate professor, and briefly owned and operated a specialty travel agency. He is married to Odalys Campagna. She is a native of Venezuela but is of European ancestry. Their only son Robert, was a collegiate football player at Lawrence University. While starting for four years, he set numerous school and NCAA records in punting.
