The Kentucky Libertarian Party will try to place a nominee for U.S. House, 4th district, on the November ballot. The nominee, Jeremy Todd, needs 400 valid signatures by June 2. The 4th district is the district that Thomas Massie represents, but Massie lost the Republican primary earlier this month.

The Kentucky petition deadline for Congress, for minor party and independent candidates, had been the second Tuesday in August, until the 2018 session of the legislature moved the deadline to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in June.

No minor party nominee for U.S. House has been on the ballot in Kentucky since 2022, when the Pirate Party placed Ethan Keith Osborne on the ballot. He also ran in the 4th district, and polled 10,111 votes. Even though he was the Pirate Party nominee, he chose the ballot label “independent.” No Libertarian has been on the ballot for U.S. House in Kentucky since 2020.

Illinois Independent Submits Almost 20,000 Signatures to Run for U.S. House

On May 22, Chris Getty, an independent candidate for U.S. House in Illinois, submitted almost 20,000 signatures to meet a requirement of 10,816. See this story. He is running in the 4th district, where the incumbent Democrat did not run for re-election, but he didn’t tell anyone he wasn’t running for re-election except that he tipped off his campaign manager. So she submitted a primary petition and became the Democratic nominee by default. If other Democrats had known the incumbent wasn’t running for re-election, there would have been many Democrats running for the seat.

Getty is personally a Democrat, but Illinois does not have registration by party.
