The Kansas Libertarian Party is ballot-qualified and nominates by convention. Its original nominee for U.S. House, 4th district, David Moffett, recently dropped out of the race because of ill health. The party has the right to choose a replacement nominee, up until September 20.
According to this story, the Kansas Libertarian Party is considering replacing Moffett with Wink Hartman, and Hartman is considering whether to accept. Hartman ran in the Republican primary on August 4 for the same seat, and polled 22.8% in a five-person race. The winner of the Republican primary is Mike Pompeo. The seat is open because the Republican incumbent, Todd Tiahrt, did not run for re-election; instead he ran for U.S. Senate, but lost the Republican primary.
The 4th district is centered on Wichita. Hartman is a successful businessman who already spent $1,000,000 on his primary campaign.
“According to this story, the Kansas Libertarian Party is considering replacing Moffett with Wink Hartman, and Hartman is considering whether to accept.”
That is NOT accurate. It very plainly states that if Hartman decides to run he will meet with the LP to discuss it. The possibility was brought up to both the LP and Wink Hartman from a 3rd party (no pun intended).
Sounds familiar. How long will he be staying with the LP?
Hartman will stay with the LP as long as it is politically expedient for him, which would be until November 3rd. He is a sore loser and trying to carpetbag on the LP ticket.
That’s what I thought. It sounded familiar. New York. Howard Stern. William Weld.
