Gordon was a Libertarian member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives. Gordon was elected as a Republican Representative in November 2010 for the 71st District, defeating Democratic candidate George S. Alzaibak. In September 2011 he was expelled from the Republican caucus for allegedly making derogatory comments about other Republicans online.[2] Gordon changed his party affiliation from Republican to Libertarian, becoming the only Libertarian Party member in any United States legislature during that time.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}} Rhode Island House of Representatives2010 ElectionGordon decided to run as a Republican for Rhode Island's 71st house district, based in Jamestown, Portsmouth, and Little Compton; when Republican State Representative John J. Loughlin, Jr. retired from that position to run for Rhode Island's 1st congressional district, which had been vacated by retiring Democrat U.S. Congressman Patrick J. Kennedy. Gordon became the Republican nominee and narrowly defeated Democratic nominee George Alzaibak 50.4%-49.6%, a difference of just 47 votes.[3][4] ControversiesIn March 2011, he made a controversial comment in an online article reporting that Tiverton High School started the school's first Gay-Straight Alliance.[5][6] In September 2011, Gordon was arrested in Massachusetts, exposing Gordon's extensive criminal record. He told his constituents that his problems stemmed from PTSD, which caused his alcoholism.[7] He argued both problems were due to his service in the Gulf War and also claimed he was injured by shrapnel in Baghdad.[8] Gordon's Marine Corps records obtained by The Associated Press, listed him as an aircraft technician who served from 1987-1991 in Japan and the Gulf War. He did not earn a Purple Heart as he claimed, although he did win one award for his time stationed in Japan and a National Defense Service Medal, given to all personnel on active duty at the time of the Gulf War.[9] Gordon stated that he suffered from PTSD that was caused by a shrapnel wound he received during the First Gulf War. According to the AP his military records show that he was nowhere near a battlefield.[8] 2012 ElectionGordon ran for re-election in the November 6, 2012 election as a Libertarian, but failed to get enough signatures to get on the ballot.[10] He ran as a write-in candidate and lost the election to Democrat Dennis Canario by a wide margin, thus leaving no Libertarians in any state legislature in the country.{{citation needed|date=November 2012}} DeathGordon died on March 25, 2017.[11] References1. ^http://www.providencejournal.com/news/20170329/former-ri-rep-dan-gordon-dies-at-age-47 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.wpri.com/dpp/news/local_news/rhode-island-lawmaker-expelled-from-gop-caucus |title=Rep.
