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.

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