Jesse may think he's a libertarian, but his web site bespeaks entirely different leanings. A proper libertarian would be out to dismantle the state government, especially a relatively ample one such as Minnesota's. There is nothing about that in the web positions, only a desire to reduce, not eliminate (if you read carefully) the budget surplus with tax cuts. Jesse does seem to have a problem with social services, but he seems to support more infrastructure-type stuff and the public education system as well.
He had a position on crime but I was afraid to click on it.
In these respects, he might be understood as an interesting expression of working class feeling about government. There is a low-tax impulse but it is tempered in practice by support for the status quo, with some distressing exceptions, on the service side.
