Libertarian Party Vice Chair Andy Wolf voices opposition to straight-ticket voting at the July 22, 2010 LaPorte County Election Board meeting.

“Straight party voting is essentially voting a party into office, and that leads to bad government. That’s not what we need,” Wolf said.

Wolf further indicated that straight-ticket voting has contributed to the county’s current economic situation. “What is needed is efficient government.”

Wolf is running for Indiana State Representative in District 9 against Scott Pelath, who has held the position since 1999.

Delegates from the Libertarian Party of LaPorte County (LPLP) included Marc Oestrich, Dan Drexler, Andy Wolf, and Ray Wolff. The body selected its 2010 candidates for office, including among others Rebecca Sink Burris for U.S. Senate, Mark Vogel for U.S. House Second District, and Mike Wherry for Indiana Secretary of State.

“We are looking forward to spirited campaigns this year,” commented Drexler, who also serves as the LPIN’s vice chair. “We nominated very strong candidates to represent the residents of Indiana on the ballot. They are candidates who will offer voters a true alternative to the failed policies of the Republican and Democratic parties. Hoosiers have continually shown that they want less spending, lower taxes, and more freedom, and the Libertarian Party is the only party that gives voters a choice.”

The LPLP’s next meeting will be held at Karla’s Pub and Grill in Westville on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. The public is welcome to attend.
