Jim Webb presidential campaign, 2016
The 2016 presidential campaign of Jim Webb, the former United States Senator from Virginia, was officially launched when Webb, who also formerly served as Secretary of the Navy, announced his candidacy for the Democratic Party's nomination for President of the United States in 2016 on July 2, 2015. As the author of ten books, Webb chose to make his announcement through writing an open letter on his campaign website.〔http://www.webb2016〕 He withdrew from the Democratic race on October 20, and is currently running as an independent. 〔http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/10/20/webb-to-drop-out-democratic-2016-race/〕

Webb's moderate policy stances, including issues such as gun control, foreign policy, and illegal immigration, led to speculation that he was a frontrunner for the vice presidential nomination in 2008, although he ultimately took himself out of the running.
