Thirty Missouri Libertarians File For Office With Four Contested Primaries

Jefferson City, MO -- Thirty Missouri Libertarians and counting have filed for
federal, state and county office for the 2010 elections. The largest number of
Libertarian candidates since the 2004 election.

Missouri Libertarian Party Vice Chair Dr. Cisse Spragins of Kansas City and
Jonathan Dine of Riverside have both filed for the US Senate seat being vacated
by Kit Bond. The Libertarian US Senate nominee will be determined at the ballot
box during the August 3rd primary. Both will be participating in a US Senate
debate to be held the evening of Saturday May 29th in the main convention hall
during the National Libertarian Party convention in St. Louis.

Eleven candidates filed for Congress resulting in three more contested races
for the August 3rd primary.

State Chairman Glenn Nielsen commented that "This will be an exciting year for
Libertarians with four contested races in the August primary."

Charles Baum of University City filed for State Auditor. This is Mr. Baum's

general election in a four way race.

Two candidates filed for State Senate and eleven candidates filed for State
Representative.

Three candidates have been confirmed as filing for county office as a
Libertarian and the party expects to be notified of additional county
