The Kennedy campaign announced on Wednesday that it had submitted the necessary paperwork and filing fee to appear on the Louisiana state ballot. Louisiana allows independent candidates the choice of paying a filing fee or petitioning for signatures.
According to a press release from the campaign, it paid the $500 filing fee and submitted its elector Notices of Candidacy and Affidavits of Acceptance of Nomination. As an independent candidate, Kennedy had the choice between paying the fee or collecting the signatures of 5,000 registered voters, with at least 500 signatures from each of Louisiana’s congressional districts.
“We are thrilled Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Nicole Shanahan will be on the ballot in Louisiana this November,” said Southwest Regional Director Carlos Sierra in the release. “Louisianans will have the opportunity to vote for a ticket that represents independence, unity, integrity, and honesty.”
The campaign states in the release that it has submitted signatures for certification in 15 states, including Alaska, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and now Louisiana.
