As far as winnable races in NH (I get their newsletter),
three of the four LPers in the state house are running 
again. House Libertarian Leader Don Gorman (who is very
popular) had no major party candidates file against him, 
but a write-in is possible, and he is reported to be 
building up a war chest. Contributions to his campaign
can be sent to: P.O. Box 94, Deerfield, NH 03037.

Andy Borsa and Finlay Rothhaus both face a full slate of 
major party opponents, but still plan to win. Since the 
three are incumbents, money spent on their campaigns 
would proabably be the most effective.

As far as other races for NH state house, there is not 
much news, other than the number (73 total). Apparently 
the LPNH is using a kind of MIRV strategy on the major 
parties in NH - run lots of candidates, only a few of
whom run active campaigns, but they won't know which
ones are dangerous until it is too late.

To find out, you'll probably have to ask them. Their
number is 1-800-559-LPNH.

Subj:  Winnable Races In PA In 1994
To:      WalkerBill


Bill,

Of the 29 races in Pennsylvania this fall I consider two winnable.

Ken Krawchuk in the 153rd State Rep seat in Abington Montgomery Co, and
Joe Lisowski in the 155th State Rep seat in Downingtown Chester Co.

Both races have a campaign staff and an organization behind them.
Both have demonstrated the ability to organize their volunteers to
achieve results.

On Primary Day (May 10) Ken had 28 volunteers work the polling places
in his district, collecting over 1000 signatures for his nomination
petitions. He only needed 300 to get on the ballot, and while many
candidates in PA waited until July to get their signatures Ken was
set in May and spent the summer planning his campaign. The remarkable
statistic in Ken's petition gathering is that 20% of the Republicans and
Democrats who voted in the May primary in his district signed his
petition. Since then ken has appeared in parades in his home town,
appeared in the papers several times and been invited to the League
Of Woman Voters debates and debates set up by United We Stand America.
The incumbent Republican is not running for re-election, and an
independent is running making this a 4-way race for an open seat.

On Primary Day Joe Lisowski did not collect petition signatures, instead
he mounted a write in campaign for the Democratic nomination in his
district. With a team of volunteers Joe got over 300 write in votes in
the Democratic primary to cross file himself as both a Democrat and a
Libertarian. He is facing a Republican incumbent in a two way race.
Joe has been planning this campaign since the fall of 1993 when he
was endorsed by the Libertarian Party Of PA. Joe's campaign manager
has run and won races for Republican candidates in Florida. The
Chester county Libertarians held a fundraiser with Walter Williams that
drew 200 people. Joe's literature is very professional and he is a
hard campaigner.

Dave Tartaglia of Chester Co LP: 

Both these candidates are aiming to win and I think both have a shot at
it. Other campaigns in Pennsylvania will also make a strong showing:
Carolann Hill running for State Senate in the 44th in Chester Co,
Gene Baynes 38th State Senate seat in Pittsburgh and Tom Durborow for
the 147th State Rep seat. (Tom and Joe's districts both overlap
Carolann's.)

Please forward this message to any interested parties. Contact me
for more information or call the Libertarian Party Of Pennsylvania's
office at 1-800-R-RIGHTS.
