The Libertarian Party of Alabama just received word from the Secretary of State’s Director of Elections, Clay Helms, that Jo Jorgenson and Jeremy “Spike” Cohen have met the signature requirements to be on the Alabama Ballot for November 3rd as Independent Candidates.
My most sincere gratitude goes out to all the volunteers that braved this Alabama heat and humidity and collected petition signatures, from Mobile and Baldwin County, and Lee County, where 150 signatures were collected, to Birmingham, Huntsville, and all points in between. Petitioning can be a difficult job and certainly takes some people out of their comfort zones, but YOU did it! Thanks to YOU, Alabama voters have another option on their ballot this November.
A very special thanks to our Secretary, Thadeus Freed, for taking on the hat of Ballot Access Coordinator. Mr. Freed spent many hours on the phone coordinating with volunteers, arranging pick up times and driving from his home in Florence to the Secretary of State’s office in Montgomery. It is a very stressful job, but Mr. Freed handled it like a pro.
My thanks, also, to the LNC Ballot Access Committee members, and Jo Jorgensen for POTUS campaign team for working with us towards this goal.
With this effort behind us, we can take a moment to breathe and start planning for a big push in 2022. We want to see Libertarians filling the 2022 ballot.
Congratulations, everyone! YOUR hard work got the job done.
Laura Lane,
LPA State Chair
