Kibbe's Free the People argued for the inclusion of third-party candidates in the 2016 presidential debates,[6] and he participated in Our America Initiative's 2016 Liberty Tour to promote this campaign.[7] In an interview with Glenn Beck, Kibbe accused the Commission on Presidential Debates of "rigging" the debates by excluding third parties.[8]
Kibbe originally joined the organization (previously known as Citizens for a Sound Economy) as a policy analyst in 1986. He was the President from 2004–2015. He was formerly CEO, the post now held by Adam Brandon.[3] According to Steve Forbes, “Kibbe has been to FreedomWorks what Steve Jobs was to Apple.”[9] Kibbe and FreedomWorks Chairman Dick Armey wrote Give Us Liberty: A Tea Party Manifesto in 2010. The book reached best-seller lists including those of USA Today [citation needed] and The Washington Post.[10]
Kibbe's wife, Terry, is the Chief Executive Officer[2] for Free the People.
