3rd-Party Candidates In Pa. Races

Pennsylvania’s filing deadline for minor and independent candidates for state-wide races was yesterday.

Among those who appear to have acquired the needed number of signatures are John Krupa, who is running for governor under the “Tea Party” banner; engineer Douglas Jaimson who is running for U.S. Senate as a Libertarian; and York County homosexual activist Marakay Rogers who will be the Libertarian candidate for governor. Ms. Rogers running mate will be Kat Valleley.

Ms. Rogers ran unsuccessfully for Superior Court last year.

It also appears that the Green Party will have a candidate in the staunchly Democrat 14th Congressional District race in Ed Bortz. The district  includes Pittsburgh and is represented by  Mike Doyle. Bortz’s concerns include the development of Marcellus Shale.

Also, in the governor’s race write-in campaigns for governor are being organized for Sam Rohrer, the state rep from the 128th District who was defeated by Tom Corbett for Republican Party nomination for the post.

Rohrer has not endorsed the campaigns, but he has not dis-endorsed them either.
