Jim Sendelbach was a candidate for the United States Congress in Georgia's 10th congressional district special election, 2007 on the Libertarian Party ticket. Sendelbach finished 7th of nine candidates with 710 votes for 1.31% of the total.

He had previously run for State Senate, but had been unable to run for the U.S. House or Senate because of seemingly restrictive registration requirements for third-party candidates in such races. Because of the death of Rep. Charlie Norwood, Sendebach was able to run as the first Libertarian candidate for U.S. Congress in Georgia. Since this was a nonpartisan special election, all candidates for the election were (regardless of party affiliation) listed alphabetically, though their party affiliations are noted on the ballot.^[1] According to Georgia law, to win outright, a candidate needed a majority vote; since no candidate won more than 50% of the vote, the top two finishers competed in a runoff election on July 17, 2007.

Sendelbach holds a doctorate degree in counseling psychology, a master's degree in theology, and a bachelor's degree in philosophy. He is a licensed professional counselor and certified forensic addictions examiner. He is presently co-owner and principal therapist at Anchor Point Neurofeedback and Counseling Center in Conyers. He is also a Vietnam veteran.
