"Mike Lacey to run as Libertarian candidate for Luzerne County Council" Aug. 26:
Republican Mike Lacey, co-founder of the NEPA Tea Party, will replace Betsy Summers as the Libertarian candidate for Luzerne County Council, Libertarian officials said Wednesday.
"Libertarians have been running as Republicans and Democrats (sic) throughout the country for years," said Lou Jasikoff, chairman of the Pennsylvania Libertarians. "This might be the first time in history that a Republican is running as a Libertarian, and times are truly changing."
Lacey is a right-libertarian, active with various regional free market groups such as Americans For Prosperity.
