Libertarian Party candidate Neil Belliveau has received enough signatures to be on the November ballot for State Representative in PA House District 91. Belliveau will face off against Republican incumbent Dan Moul and Democratic challenger Marty Qually.
Belliveau said he had received 570 signatures in the district, well above the 300 required for ballot access.
Belliveau said Pennsylvania election law categorizes the Libertarian Party as a “minor political party,” meaning they are not given primaries paid by taxpayers, but instead must collect individual signatures to reach the ballot.
Belliveau said he would be the first Libertarian candidate to run in the District.
“The two-party system is not working and people are looking for other options,” Belliveau said. “I am running to get the government out of our businesses and personal lives. If the last two years have shown us anything, we need to stop the federal government’s tyrannical nature and start electing liberty minded people locally.”
Belliveau said his campaign would focus on key issues relating to reducing government locally. He proposes decreasing the time the Pennsylvania legislature is in session to reduce the cost to taxpayers, fighting high local property taxes, decreasing the state gas tax, and advocating for school choice and marijuana legalization.
He also firmly supports “Defend the Guard” legislation that would prohibit the state’s National Guard Unit from being deployed into active combat without a formal declaration of war by Congress.
Belliveau said the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania is also fielding candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, two for the Pennsylvania Senate, and seventeen for the Pennsylvania House.
