Martin’s candidacy is ‘constitutional issue’ for Libertarians, but also appellant

By Trey Pollard, PolitickerKY.com Reporter

While Ed Martin’s candidacy as a Libertarian in the 3rd Congressional District was upheld earlier this month, the decision by the lower-court judge was contested, and is now before the state Court of Appeals.

Still, Libertarian Party of Kentucky Chair Ken Moellman told PolitickerKY.com he was confident of success for Martin, arguing the legal question of Martin’s candidacy was a “constitutional issue” the party would appeal all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary.

KY-3: Martin’s candidacy as Libertarian stands after court challenge

By Trey Pollard, PolitickerKY.com Reporter

Businessman Ed Martin will be on November’s general election ballots in the 3rd Congressional District race, as a motion to dismiss the challenge to his candidacy was successful, Martin tells PolitickerKY.com.

“This is my Inherit the Wind moment,” Martin told PolitickerKY.com this morning, referencing the classic film. “It was the layperson trying to fight for my first and 14th Amendment rights.”

Libertarians will challenge Jefferson County GOP chair's challenge

By Trey Pollard, PolitickerKY.com Reporter

Ballot access for 3rd Congressional District Libertarian candidate Edward Martin has been challenged by Brad Cummings, the chairman of the Jefferson County Republican Party.

Martin submitted the requisite number of petition signatures to place his name on the ballot, but he is also a registered Republican – a status that may threaten his candidacy as a libertarian.

The challenge will go before a judge, who will consider its legal viability. The Libertarian Party, however, aims to contest the challenge.
