New York City Mayor Eric Adams said on April 3 that he will run for re-election in November 2025 as an independent.

On March 27 the Connecticut Joint Government & Elections Committee Passed SB 1156. It allows a minor party that had polled at least 1% of the vote for a statewide office at the last election to petition for a district office without having to file a cumbersome form reserving its name for each jurisdiction.

The vote was 13-6.

This is from our friend Chris Powell in Oklahoma:

Four registered Libertarians were on the ballot in local elections yesterday, and all four won.

Sammy Kruckenberg received 50%, defeating two other candidates for Alva City Council, Ward 2 Seat 1.

David L. Moss received 62% to win a seat on the Deer Creek/Lamont school board.

Eric S. Catman, Sr, was one of four candidates for three Town of Maysville Board of Trustees positions, finishing first with 34.88%.

And, Roger Dale Merrill received 82% to become Mayor of Beggs, the first Libertarian mayor in Oklahoma.

Three other candidates for municipal who filed at the same time, Vanessa Hass for Town of Achille Board of Trustees, Patrick Jackson for Lehigh City Council, and Dayanna Hollis for Town of Warner Board of Trustees, were unopposed.  There are a dozen Libertarians holding public office in Oklahoma currently and six previous office holders since the party regained recognition in 2016.
