I haven't seen this posted anywhere, so I thought I'd post it. Libertarian candidate, Doug Butzier was killed in a plane crash Monday night. He was running in a tight race against Joni Ernst (R) and Bruce Braley (D). Ernst and Braley have been polling neck-and-neck.
According to Station KCCI:
The wife of Doug Butzier confirmed Tuesday morning to KCRG-TV that it was Butzier who was killed in a plane crash Monday.
Butzier is running for U.S. Senate as the Libertarian candidate against Republican Joni Ernst and Democrat Bruce Braley.
The crash was reported Monday night near Dubuque Regional Airport...
...Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford said the Piper PA-46 crashed around 11 p.m. Monday on approach to the airport, about a mile north of the runway.
My condolences to his family.
