Hubbel files for State Senate

Pat Powers

Well that’s interesting. Eternal candidate Lora Hubbel just filed to run for the state Senate. They would’ve been sent in via mail and did not show up until today. Hubbel would be challenging Wayne Steinhauer in the June primary for the seat.

Update!  For those interested in donating:

  2. …..and where do we send checks for Mr. Steinhauer?

    Who signed her petitions? I’d like to know crazy people when I encounter them.

    1. They are the ones WITHOUT the electronic implants secretly inserted into the rest of us by the gubmint.

  3. Independent run for Governor
    State Senate as Republican
    Precinct Committee woman as Republican

    I’m not really sure she hasn’t disqualified herself for at least one of those races.

    Does the Constitution Party need a candidate?

    2. Constitution Party needs all the help they can get and Lori Stacy posted over at DFP about a new conspiracy that sabotaged their party.

      Can Lora run for multiple offices at once and throw it all against the wall and hope one sticks?

      1. In another example of loyalty—(strongly sarcastic) The Strongs left the constitution party now and signed up to be precinct people in Meade county challenging Linda Rausch and her husband. Linda is vice chair of the republican party statewide.

        1. Kurt Evans of the Constitutional Party welcomes a challenger for the nomination Governor and hoped Lora would challenge him.

  4. Did I hear Peters is running for the house? Why? What more could she accomplish other than leadership?

  5. How can she run for state senate as a Republican and run for governor as an Independent?

    1. Codified law states she can not. But until she actually files with the SOS for canadiacy as an Independent for Governor she is unfortunately able to do so. 🙁 🙁

      1. Is this the one you were talking about blogger123?

        No person may be a candidate for nomination or election to more than one public office except for the office of President of the United States or vice president of the United States. However, a candidate for any such office is not prohibited from being elected to any one or more party offices as may be provided in chapter 12-5.

        1. Yes. Even if she has said she is “so called running” as an independent she technically is not nominated or on the ballott. It is my understadning until she is she can do as she pleases.

  6. Wayne is an outstanding legislator – very studious. Anything we can do to support him is good for our state

  8. This doesn’t really makes sense to me. You would think if she actually wanted to win she would file for House not Senate. Statistically she has a better shot.

    1. nothing lora does makes sense, but that doesnt stop her. she doesnt have a chance against Steinhauer

  10. This is a very pleasant turn of events. If Ms. Hubbel was back in the legislatures even less would get accomplished, and that is good.

  12. In this mornings Argus: Hubbel on Wednesday said that severe winter weather and a late start in signature collecting kept her from reaching the threshold required to make the ballot. “I just didn’t anticipate all that was going to happen,” Hubbel said. “It was nobody’s fault.”

    Sounds like she is blaming God for not getting on the ballot. Ya think God wants her in the Legislature? We’ll see.

    1. I was helping people petition(not Lora). And while the weather impeded activity we still got what we needed done. In the article she stated she didn’t have sufficient padding(above the minimum number) to risk submitting them. With petitioning there is an error rate, for lack of a better term. Depending on where and how you acquire signatures determines the error rate. When its people you know in an area you know its around 10%, at a event its around 25%, at the courthouse its around 40%. That is the frustrating part of petitioning, people can claim to be whatever but most of the time they are wrong… So for a Governor type candidate, you could bank on a 30% error rate, which would mean you would need around 800 extra for padding. So that was the number she was short on.

  13. Lora’s severe winter weather aka this winters Aurora Borealis was wrecking havoc with her reception. Ion storm.

    1. Of course not Kelly, I can speak for myself. The Republican establishment has put up so many road blocks to stop Lora. Talk to the county chairs. They were put in an uncompromising position. Very weak leadership that doesn’t want to stand up to the king makers. No excuses, just facts.
