Two third-party candidates join race for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District
A Libertarian Party candidate has gathered enough signatures to appear on the November general election ballot for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District.
Jeremy Todd, a member of the Libertarian Party and a Northern Kentucky resident, announced that he secured ballot access for the upcoming general election.
Kentucky state law dictates that a Libertarian Party candidate seeking election to the U.S. House of Representatives can qualify for the general election by filing a nomination petition containing at least 400 valid signatures. Todd’s petition garnered over 750 signatures in 12 days.
“Our district has spoken clearly; what happened in our backyard cannot be tolerated,” Todd said in a press release posted to his campaign’s official Facebook page. “Kentucky is not for sale. We will not allow Washington insiders or outside money to simply purchase a seat in Congress. This campaign is about sending a loud message that our freedom does not go to the highest bidder.”
