Libertarian Gary Johnson Pitches Marijuana As A Cure For Ebola - Video
DUBUQUE, Iowa, Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Dr. Doug Butzier, the Libertarian candidate for Senate in Iowa, was killed when his small plane crashed on a flight from Ankeny, Iowa, to Dubuque.
Butzier was at the controls of the Piper PA-46 and was alone in the plane, a friend said.
The 59-year-old doctor had been an emergency room physician in Dubuque for the past 17 years. He was a member of the board of Mercy Medical Center and president of the hospital's medical staff.
Butzier, an advocate of smaller government, was selected as the Libertarian candidate in Iowa. Decmocratic Rep. Bruce Braley and Joni Ernst, the Republican candidate, are involved in a contentious fight for the seat now held by Tom Harkin, a Democrat, and Butzier said few people were listening to other candidates.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the crash occurred at 11 p.m. Monday about a mile from Dubuque Regional Airport. Heavy rain was falling at the time.
"I was just sitting in there watching TV and all that I heard was an airplane going vrrrmmm -- boom! Blew up, came up and seen big ole flames on the neighbor's yard," Jeremy Becker told KCRG-TV.

The Libertarian candidate running in the hotly contested Iowa Senate race died Monday night in a plane crash.
Authorities say the candidate, Dr. Douglas Butzier, was piloting the single-engine plane when it crashed at about 11 p.m. local time. The Dubuque County Sheriff's Office says the plane crashed upon approaching the Dubuque Regional Airport.
A brief statement on the candidate's campaign website announced his death. "He will be sorely missed by family, his coworkers and friends," the statement says.
The 59-year-old Butzier was running as a third-party candidate in the Senate race otherwise dominated by Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley and Republican state Sen. Joni Ernst. Most polling had shown Butzier with support in the single digits (one survey in September showed him at 2 percentage points).
Braley and Ernst are virtually tied in the polls, and it's unclear what impact Butzier had. Both candidates put out statements on Tuesday mourning his death.
Im shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden and tragic death, Braley said. I have enormous respect for anyone who puts their name forward as a candidate for public office. (Wife) Carolyn and I send our thoughts and prayers to Dr. Butziers wife and family during this difficult time.
"I am deeply saddened to learn the tragic news about Dr. Doug Butzier, Ernst said. I appreciated Doug's willingness to contribute to this important election. In addition to representing Libertarians in this campaign, Doug served his community as an ER doctor and medical leader. (Husband) Gail and I will keep Doug's family in our thoughts and prayers as they mourn their untimely loss."
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford said the plane took off from Ankeny Regional Airport about an hour before the crash. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.
