  1. Is there a complete listing of all races won by Libertarian Party candidates, including Libertarians who run for non-partisan offices?

  2. I’ll have a list like that in the January 1, 2017 printed BAN. It is too early to have such a list now. Lots of these wins aren’t immediately known to the parties.

  3. The KY Jefferson County Commissioner is only in charge of the county area that is not located in a city, which after the merger of Louisville and Jefferson County is no place. There are some who are trying to remove this do nothing job. An independent who ran was disqualified for filing errors, and no Republican or Democrat filed.
