LPKS
TOPEKA – Rob Hodgkinson, Stilwell, the State Chair of the Libertarian Party of Kansas (LPKS), filed the Libertarian’s 2016 slate of candidates with the Kansas Secretary of State’s office.
“I’m very proud of the list of candidates that we filed today (June 1),” said Hodgkinson in a news release. “The Libertarian Party have assured that every Kansan will have a third option on their ballot in the general election this November.”
The Libertarian stable of 16 candidates range from local offices such as the Oxford Township Trustee to the party’s candidates for President and Vice-President, Governor Gary Johnson and Governor William Weld.
The party’s candidates for President and Vice President are their highest profile candidates. Gary Johnson is the former two-term governor of New Mexico and William Weld is the former two-term governor of Massachusetts. Demonstrating the candidates’ cross-party-line appeal, both were elected as Republicans in heavily Democrat states. Now both men have joined the Libertarian Party where their campaign’s message of fiscal responsibility and social acceptance has found a more natural political home.
It appears that the Libertarian candidate for President will be the only third party or independent candidate to appear on the general election ballot in all 50 states. Hodgkinson hopes that the high-profile nature of the party’s candidate for president will make people consider their local candidates as well. “The two party system is broken and we are all disgusted with ‘politics as usual’,” said Hodgkinson, “and I believe that this is the year that politics-as-usual changes in America. We expect that this is the year that will see mass conversions from both the Republicans and Democrats to the Libertarian Party where they will be welcome.”
The Libertarian Party of Kansas invites individuals and media to learn more about their candidates for office. All candidates and their contact information are listed below.
