You DO have a choice

In America, the first dark horse in the political arena is credited to President James Polk, an unknown outside of Tennessee. Is there a dark horse in the 42nd State House District race? In the Special Election for State Representative, Libertarian George Brown has stepped forward, so that ALL registered voters have an opportunity to vote.

With the special May 21 election being held during the Primary, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents can cast their votes. This Special Election will be held the day after the Mt. Lebanon School Board approves the 2013-14 budget. Republicans have a choice. Democrats have a choice. And now, Independents can vote in the Special Election.

PA House District 42 Campaign Update

As mentioned before, the Libertarian Party has entered the race for State Representative. Examiner.com has an article about George Brown's campaign as the Libertarian Candidate for the PA House District 42.

George Brown is the Libertarian candidate in the upcoming May Special Election to fill a vacant seat in the Pennsylvania state legislature. And to listen to him, there are a number of reasons why this race is special. Not only isn’t there an entrenched incumbent to dislodge from office, but the district includes the boyhood home of the legendary libertarian and former Texas Congressman Ron Paul.

The Libertarian Party enters the House race

It isn't just between the Democrats and the Republicans anymore.  A third candidate has entered the race for the House seat in the 42nd District. The third largest political party in the United States is running Libertarian and Mt. Lebanon resident, George Brown for State Representative.

According to his website, George For Liberty, George Brown is:

• Graduate of Slippery Rock State College 1982
• Mount Lebanon Resident Since 1987
• Software and Systems Engineer
• Married 30 Years
• Three Sons
• Small Business Owner Since 1995
• Hunter
• Fisherman
• Beekeeper
• Proud Father of Three Eagle Scouts

Mr. Brown wants to bring some common sense and down to earth ideas to Harrisburg. Based on my unofficial poll for this race, one third of the voters are dissatisfied with the Republican and Democratic choices.  Unfortunately, I cannot change the poll by adding George Brown's name, but I can extend the deadline. Are those 30%, who are voting for neither of the Dan's, fed up with the Republican and Democratic parties? Time will tell on May 21, 2013.
