FRANKFORT, Ky. A Libertarian is planning to challenge Republican U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie in this falls general election in Kentuckys 2nd District. <\/p>\n
Craig Astor, former chairman of the Larue County Republican Party, will make his candidacy official on Monday by filing the necessary paperwork in the secretary of states office. <\/p>\n
The 49-year-old Astor, an ordained minister from Hodgenville, will also face Democratic nominee and perennial candidate David Williams in the Nov. 6 election. Williams has run unsuccessfully for a litany of offices over the years. <\/p>\n
Astor campaign manager Ken Moellman said he believes this will be a good year for Libertarian candidates because of what he sees as dissatisfaction among voters with Republican and Democratic standard-bearers on the national level. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
