In addition to his activity on the national level, Ramsey is politically active around the Austin and Travis County area. In 2012, Ramsey supported Michael Cargill for Travis County Constable. Cargill is a gay African-American gun store owner and prominent libertarian activist in Austin. The race marked Ramsey's first attempt to elect a libertarian leaning candidate in the Democratic party. The race also became prominent for Ramsey's role in labeling Cargill's opponent Adan Ballesteros as the "Cocaine Constable". The attacks against Ballesteros were based on the findings of a 15-year-old investigation by the Department of Public Safety that said Ballesteros had peddled drugs into the United States from Mexico.
