From Ballot Access News:
The Modern Whig Party of Louisiana has arranged for a January 28 forum for all presidential candidates who are willing to attend. So far, nine candidates have accepted:
1. Robert Dionisio, an independent candidate from Atlanta, Georgia
2. Zoltan Istvan, presidential nominee of the Transhumanist Party, of Mill Valley, California
3. John Fitzgerald Johnson, an independent candidate from Cincinnati, Ohio
4. Lynn S. Kahn, an independent candidate from Silver Spring, Maryland
5. Chris Keniston, presidential nominee of the Veterans Party, of Vernon, Texas
6. Valma Kittington, candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, from Midland City, Alabama
7. Roger E. Nicholas, candidate for the Unity Party presidential nomination, from Maryville, Missouri
8. Rhett Smith, candidate for the Libertarian presidential nomination, from San Antonio, Texas
9. Verone A. Thomas, candidate for the Modern Whig presidential nomination, from Lake Charles, Louisiana
The event will be live-streamed. It is being held in the conference room of Reeves Uptown Catering, at 1639 Ryan Street, Lake Charles, Louisiana, a room that seats 200 people. The moderators are Jackie Simien, a retired television news anchor, and Derick Kee, of the civic organization V.I.S.A. Coalition. The event starts at 6 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m. There is a Republican presidential debate set for the same evening.
Anyone know how many of the listed attendees actually made a firm commitment to attend?
It would be nice if they could get Jim Webb to attend.
Too bad it was on such short notice.
I was told that Ms. Kahn is seeking the Reform Party’s nomination, but considers herself an independent candidate.
Lynn Kahn is in the Reform Party primary.
Thank you, Darryl. I’ll amend the post again.
The information from the hosts is incorrect: I am not confirmed for the event. When invited I responded that I was interested, but did not think I would be able to attend.
Thank you sparkey and Mr. Winger.
I updated the article here as well.
Well that stinks. I wonder if perhaps some of the other Green Party candidates might attend. It’s not too bad a drive to Lake Charles for me. I’m going to try to make it out for this.
Jill Stein won’t attend, according to her campaign manager.
Thank you for bringing that to my attention. She was listed at Ballot Access News, and it appears that the original article there was edited to remove her. The article here is a direct copy and paste of the Ballot Access News article as it appeared a short while ago.
Why is Stein listed here but not on Ballot Access News?
