Libertarian candidates for Governor, AG blocked from Tuesday ballot

The U.S. Supreme Court denied an appeal Monday from the Libertarian Party of Ohio, ending the partys efforts to field candidates for governor and attorney general on Tuesdays primary ballot.

Mark Brown, the Capital University law professor representing the Libertarians, said he will ask the entire 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati for a rehearing as part of an effort to gain spots on the November ballot of gubernatorial candidate Charlie Earl and attorney general candidate Steven Linnabary.

If we get it and win before November, (the Libertarians) can have candidates restored to the general election ballot, Brown said in an e-mail. He added that in 2008, the federal courts added Libertarian candidates to the November election even though they did not run in a primary.

A three-judge panel of the 6th circuit last week unanimously upheld a ruling by a federal judge that the candidacy petitions filed by Earl and Linnabary were faulty.

Secretary of State Jon Husted made the original decision to remove them from the statewide ballot

The Libertarians quickly responded by asking first Justice Elena Kagan and then Justice Clarence Thomas to delay enforcement of the appeals court ruling. After Kagan rejected the request, Thomas referred the entire appeal to the nine-member high court and the justices turned it down.

Libertarian activist to run for District 4 Alachua County seat

Published: Monday, May 5, 2014 at 10:38 p.m. Last Modified: Tuesday, May 6, 2014 at 9:41 a.m.

Lucas Jewell, a 22-year-old libertarian activist and former U.S. Navy air traffic controller, has filed to run for the Alachua County Commission District 4 seat Commissioner Susan Baird will vacate after this November's election.

Jewell is relatively new to Gainesville, having moved here in January to be closer to his mother after her husband died in a car accident.

I mean, I'm going to live here for a while and you can either sit back and complain about things or you can say, 'Screw it, I'm going to throw my hat in the ring and see what happens,' he said.

Jewell grew up in North Florida and told The Sun he enlisted in the Navy in 2010 at 18 years old, serving as an air traffic controller before he was eventually honorably discharged in March 2013 after filing as a conscientious objector.

After leaving the military, he got involved as the business manager for Adam vs. The Man, a talk show helmed by libertarian activist Adam Kokesh that has existed in various formats (mostly online).

While he worked with Adam vs. The Man, Jewell said he participated in Smoke Down Prohibition rallies in Philadelphia during which people would smoke marijuana publicly as an act of civil disobedience meant to make the legalization issue more visible.

Jewell told The Sun he was arrested at a Smoke Down Prohibition event in June 2013, while Kokesh had already been arrested at a prior rally.

He said he had a hand-rolled tobacco cigarette and was trying to get the police to focus on him so others wouldn't be arrested. I don't know how regular people get arrested, but libertarians don't really comply, he said.

Jewell said he sat down and forced the authorities to carry him off.
