The Libertarian Party of Michigan today is celebrating several victories in Tuesday’s municipal elections.  Chairman Bill Hall said these victories showcase the party’s strength at the local level.  “All of our candidates ran on a consistent Libertarian platform of More Freedom and Less Government.  Contrast this with the Democrats and Republicans in Lansing busily raising taxes and spending.  The fact that we re-elected our sitting Libertarian councilmen and added even more shows not only that the Libertarian message connects with voters, but also that Libertarians are effective in these positions.”

 

Tuesday’s winners include Mayor Pro-Tem Mark Owen, who was re-elected in  Owosso, and Councilman Andy LeCureaux, re-elected in Hazel Park.  David Eisenbacher was elected to the Troy City Council in a landslide.  Mark Byrne was elected to the Port Huron City Council.
