Libertarian Candidates Emerge
       ...based on a report by Alwin Hopfman, State Committee Political Facilitator

We have four more-or-less Libertarian Party candidates running for State Representative, which is a recent record. We have four more-or-less libertarian candidates for U.S. Congress, an all-time record.  Political Party Status has created challenges in terms of choice of ballot line.

State Legislative candidates

We have four more-or-less Libertarian candidates running for State Representative, which is a recent record.

State Committee member Jon Loya of Holliston is running for State Representative in the Eighth Middlesex District. The District is Holliston, Hopkinton, and parts of Medway, Westborough, and Southborough.  His web site is electjonloya.com

State Committee member Bob Underwood of Springfield is running for State Representative in the Ninth Hampden District.  He is running on the Liberty line.  His web site is electbobunderwood.com.

Robert Walsh III of Lynn is running for State Representative in an Essex District.  He is a member of the Constitution Party and is attempting to get on the ballot on the Libertarian line as a write-in/sticker candidate.  He has no web site.

Chuck Kuniewich of Hudson is running for State Representative in the Third Middlesex district, which includes Bolton, Hudson, Maynard, and Stow.  He is running as an independent, with web site votechuckk.com.  His contact with our movement is through support for the Committee for Small Government, the Sales Tax Rollback effort. His message is: Government should be effective & efficient, fiscally frugal not foolish.

Federal candidates
      We have four more-or-less libertarian candidates for U.S. Congress, an all-time record.

      In the 10th District, Plymouth and Cape Cod, LAMA Member Jim Seal is working to get on the ballot.  He is registered  Unenrolled and will apparently be running on the Liberty line. Last month, Jim organized a meetup event; his web site is not yet up.

In the Third District (Worcester down to Fall River) Patrick Barron of Worcester is running as an independent.  You can see his web site at BarronForCongress.org.

In the Fifth District (northwestern Middlesex County up to the NH border) two very different independent/libertarian candidates are running. Dale Brown of North Chelmsford is planning on running on the Liberty line.  You can see his web site at brownsview.us. Bob Clark of Berlin is running as an Independent; you can see his web site at BobClarkForCongress.com.

Most of the above candidates contacted us by one means or another and have spent significant amounts of their own time and money pursuing their campaign.

Write-In (0.00 / 0)
It's interesting to see Robert Walsh III attempting the "third party fusion" approach.  How many write-in votes does he need in the LP primary to win its party line - a simple majority?

First, to take the Libertarian line fore state rep vie write-in, you need 150 votes.

Second, the LAMA State Committee was contacted today by a potential Congressional candidate in the 6th District, who appears to be entirely serious and ready to run.
