Charleston, WV:  “At least three Libertarian candidates plan to run for Charleston City Council in this year’s election,” the Charleston Gazette-Mail reported on February 17.

“Jerry Tucker (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) and Anthony Woods (Website, Facebook, and   Twitter) will run for at-large seats and Chris Kessell will run to represent Ward 8, according to Luke Brumfield, chairman of the Libertarian Party of West Virginia.

None of the three names appear on the Charleston city clerk’s official list of candidates. That’s because only Republican and Democratic candidates — and not candidates from the Libertarian or other parties, or independent candidates — will have to run in the May primary election.
