Only Libertarian Ziemba challenges Wayne County Prosecutor Kym #NotWorthy

Another bi-partisan contest in Wayne County is the election between Libertarian Daniel Ziemba and incumbent Democrat Kym Worthy.

At a time when many activists are protesting against police brutality and civil libertarians are demanding an end to mass incarceration, the incumbent, Kym Worthy, faced visceral criticism ahead of the Democratic Primary. The hashtag #NotWorthy still leads to multiple postings and videos calling her out on her record. In fact her primary opponentVictoria Burton-Harris defeated her in the election day vote.  However, a record number of people voted absentee, so the incumbent’s name recognition outshone a strong (but too little too late) campaign by her challenger.

So in the General election, anyone who doesn’t vote straight ticket will see that Worthy still has a challenger. Also, if they look into him they will learn that his a platform is much closer to that of Burton-Harris than the incumbent.  Ziemba may also capture the non-Democratic vote, so look forward to interesting results.

Libertarians Outnumber Republicans in WC Commission Election

Dearborn, MI – At their August 12th meeting the Libertarian Party of Wayne County confirmed that it will have more Wayne County Commissioner candidates on the 2020 General Election ballot than the Republican Party.

No balloted Republican are running for the 4th, 11th, 12th or 14th County Commissioner District seats. The lack of additional candidates running will make each of these districts two-person contests.  Furthermore, in the general election, Wayne County voters in these districts will see both parties on the ballot: Libertarians and Democrats.

In light of the fact that the major parties are repelling members, by obsessing on partisan success at the expense of working families, libertarians are proud to announce that voters in these districts have a choice. So they have the chance to vote for change.

District 4 candidate Loel Gnadt observed,

Unintended consequences, of government intervention, are causing hardship for the people of Wayne County. The Libertarian Party is gaining members due to their common sense policy positions that streamline government and cause less hassles for the individual.  We already have been reining in unnecessary regulations and taxes. Over 200 Libertarians, holding local and statewide offices across the nation, are leading the charge for change!
