The Pennsylvania Elections Department has posted the candidate list for federal and state office, for November 2016. For the first time since 2002, there are no independent candidates for either branch of Congress. The only non-Democratic, non-Republican candidates for U.S. House are two Libertarians (districts 15 and 16). For U.S. Senate, there is a Libertarian.
For State Senate, there are no minor party candidates. There are two independents, in districts 31 and 41. The party labels are abbreviated in the state’s list. “NOA” stands for “No affiliation.” “USM” stands for “U.S. Minutemen.”
For State House, there are four Libertarians, three Greens, and five independents. “KMI” stands for “Kate McGraw Independent.” One of the independents, Louis Jasikoff, in the 117th district, is a member of the Libertarian Party, but he chose the label “independent.”
I know that there was at least one candidate who made a real effort to get on the ballot for US House as an independent this year, and I heard that there may have been one or two more, but I’m not sure what kind of effort they put it if any.
