Anarcho-Capitalist NEWS: Libertarian Exec Director Takes School Board Seat

When candidate qualifying ended last week, Brett Bittner was the only person who put his name on the ballot for an open seat with the Marietta School Board. He is now presumptively elected to serve the school system in the Cobb County city northwest of Atlanta.

Uncontested local races are generally not political events from which headlines are made. Bittner’s situation is unique in that he is the Executive director of the Libertarian Party of Georgia. While the race is officially non-partisan, he is believed to become the third member of the Libertarian Party to hold office in Georgia.

Libertarians are generally known and branded by their national candidates. Ron Paul first ran for President as a Libertarian in 1988 before his perpetual run began under the Republican banner. Georgia’s own Bob Barr was the Libertarian nominee in 2008, though Barr is back in the Republican fold and backing Mitt Romney this year. Former Republican Governor Gary Johnson is the Libertarian nominee for 2012, further demonstrating the path between the two parties.
