Some local victories, ballot-access guarantees, and some more
statewide numbers of encouraging size, from the Libertarian Party’s
regularly-updated midterm
election news page:
John Monds, running for the Public Service Commission in
Georgia, is currently at 31.6%, with 707,328 votes.Several victories in Louisiana: William McBride was
elected to the town council of Washington in St. Landry Parish.

Bonnette was elected as a Justice of the Peace in Vernon Parish.
Chad Perry will be in a runoff for Justice of the Peace in
Calcasieu Parish……Michael Knebel, running for Treasurer of Nebraska, is
currently at 5.3%. If he stays over 5%, the LP will retain ballot
access in Nebraska.Several Libertarians running for state house in Washington are
getting over 30% of the vote. David A. Steenson is at 32.4%, Elijah
Olson is at 31.5%, and Tim Turner is at 31.7%……Bobby Tullis was elected as the mayor of Mineral Springs,
Arkansas (nonpartisan race).…..Andy Craig, running for secretary of state in Wisconsin, is

Grove Alderman (a non-partisan race). This will be his third win in
a row.
