Rush County Libertarian Candidates Seeking Support

(Written By Jeremiah Morrell, a Rush County Libertarian.)

This spring, Joyce Morrell accepted the challenge and has since formed a very strong campaign for a County Council seat. Joyce has teamed with long time friend, Victoria Foley as the first two candidates for office in Rush County on the ballot for the Libertarian Party of Rush County.

Joyce is in a two way race for this seat. She does not face Democratic opposition in this race. This is a very exciting and promising race for Libertarians state wide

Both Joyce and Victoria have been working hard on the campaign trail to win election in Rush County. Over the summer, they have attended countless fairs and festivals throughout the county.

There is some very exciting news about the campaign, as we are heading into the final 40 day push before Election Day! New campaign yard signs will be available very soon, along with the campaign mounting a door to door effort, distributing literature about Joyce & Victoria. If you would like to help, please contact via this Facebook Group or by visiting http://rush.lpin.org/ the homepage of the Rush County Libertarians.
