From Eric Dondero:

As reported here at Libertarian Republican earlier, Edward Gonzalez is taking a unique road to Congress. He is the Libertarian Party nominee for Congress against ultra-liberal incumbent Democrat Rep. Zoe Lofgren. But he's also seeking the Republican nomination.

From Offshoreinn.com:

Edward Gonzalez is in a unique position in California District 16 which includes San Jose and Silicon Valley. There are no Republicans running in the primary, yet he is running as the Libertarian candidate. California allows one person to run on multiple tickets.

Here is an explanation from Gonzalez...

Hi Mish,

The primary is June 8th. I am currently on the ballot as a Libertarian, running against an incumbent democrat, Zoe Lofgren. There is no Republican on the ballot, so I have also submitted myself to be the write-in candidate for the Republican Party. I need 2,053 Republicans to write me in. I have over 50 volunteers helping, each walking their own neighborhood with my postcards. If I get the write-ins, I will appear on the general election ballot as a Libertarian/Republican.

Thank you for the support.

Sincerely,

Edward Gonzalez

Note - in New York, Warren Redlich has won the Libertarian nomiantion for Governor, and is also seeking the Republican nomination. Also, Dino LaVerghetta is seeking both the Libertarian and Republican lines for Congress, on the upper Eastside of Manhattan.
