Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballot Access News for this post.
The Constitution Party’s National Committee held a meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 18th-19th, 2019.
One of the Speakers was Don Blankenship, Former CEO of Massey Energy Company, the Sixth Largest Coal Company in the Nation.
Blankenship told the Group that he will seek the Party’s Presidential Nomination in 2020.
He was the Party’s Nominee for U.S. Senate in West Virginia in 2018, but he was Unable to get on the Ballot because of their “Sore Loser” Law. If you Lose One Race you Can't Run in another Race in the same year.
Blankenship is currently Suing Donald Trump, Jr., for Libel. Trump Jr. had Tweeted that Blankenship is an Ex-Felon, but Blankenship was never Convicted of a Felony. He was Convicted of a Misdemeanor in 2016 involving Mine Safety Rules.
The Libel Case is in U.S. District Court in West Virginia, Blankenship v Trump, Jr., s.d., 2:19cv-549. His Lawsuit recently Survived a Motion to Dismiss and the Trial is set for October 6th, 2020.
The Constitution Party’s National Convention is set for late April 2020 in Charlotte, but the Site may be Shifted to Atlanta.
