More Libertarian Party Midterm News

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.
Henry Herford was elected as a constable in Franklin Parish. Justin
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%……

Arkansas (nonpartisan race).

…..Andy Craig, running for secretary of state in Wisconsin, is
currently at 2.5%. The LP needs 1% for any statewide office to
retain ballot access.

…..Randall Lord, running for U.S. House District 4 in
Louisiana, is at 28.4% (38% of precincts reporting). In 2012, he
got 24.7% for the same office.

Indiana, is currently at 3.4%. The LP needs 2% for secretary of

Libertarians in Arkansas have already elected
two candidates today. Jacob Faught is running unopposed
in his race for Benton County Township 5 Constable (a partisan
race). Casey D. Copeland is running unopposed for Prairie
Grove Alderman (a non-partisan race). This will be his third win in
a row.

And in addition to the
gubernatorial candidates I noted last night
, Idaho’s John Bujak
