A 5th Libertarian will appear on the DC ballot, Capitol Hill resident Pranav Badhwar, running for the Ward 6 city council seat. Badhwar, a Hill resident since 2003, is married and the father of two. A senior product manager at a telecommunications firm, he was a 2012 Ron Paul delegate.
Mr. Badhwar picked up petitions this morning to place his name on the April 2014 primary ballot, accompanied by Libertarian mayoral candidate Bruce Majors, who turned in more than enough signatures to secure his own spot on the ballot, as well as enough for Delegate to Congress candidate Sara Panfil and City Council At Large candidate Frederick Steiner.
Four DC Libertarians had earlier filed for petitions with the DC Board of Elections, and already collected enough signatures to assure them places on the April 2014 primary ballot. Winners in the primary are automatically assured placement on the November 2014 general election ballot.
The candidates are:Frederick Steiner, City Council At Large; Sara Jane Panfil, Delegate to Congress; Bruce Majors, Mayor; Ryan Sabot, Ward 3 city council representative. More candidates are being recruited, for an unprecedented nearly full slate never before put on the ballot by any DC party other than the Democrats. The newly created elected Attorney General position is open to any member of the DC Bar. Wards 1 (Petworth/Columbia Heights), 5 (Brookland) have races, as well as City Council Chair, school board, and Advisory Neighborhood Commission. If you or anyone you know would like to learn more about running for office, please contact: Bruce Majors at (202) 704-6401.
