  1. There had to had been a lot of petition signature gathering goin on to get all of those independent candidates on the ballot there.

  2. Best wishes to the Libertarian candidates. I donated to Marshall Burt’s re-election campaign.

  3. The question is will a Libertarian actually vote for individual liberty and states rights once elected? Based on the reports that I’ve seen, the current sitting Libertarian legislator chose not to support either of these when it came to vaccine mandates.
