LIBERTARIAN BLAST FROM THE PAST!

From Eric Dondero

The year was 1992. Nancy Lord was a prominent civil liberties attorney in Atlanta. She had run for statewide office in Georgia on the Libertarian Party ticket. Attractive, energetic, and offering a chance for the Party to balance the ticket with a female presence, former Alaska State Representative Andre Marrou picked Lord to be his running mate.

Marrou and Lord crisscrossed the country and garnered some national media attention, including CNN. In the end, the ticket didn't do as well as hoped at the ballot box. In the year of Perot, Bush I, and a "guy from Hope," William J. Clinton, Marrou/Lord came in 4th place, with 292,000 votes.

Lord soon drifted away from the LP. There were reports that she rejoined the Republican Party and moved out West.

Now the reports have been confirmed. And Lord is getting back into the limelight.

From the Parumph Valley Times, March 17:

Nancy Lord, attorney for the Concerned Citizens for a Safe Community, and Michael Root, a Las Vegas attorney who promotes himself as an outsider, round out the field of five candidates for Nye County district attorney competing in the June 8 Republican primary.

The other two Republicans are incumbent Bob Beckett and former Nye County Chief Civil Deputy District Attorney Ron Kent.

The primary winner advances to the Nov. 2 general election to face the winner of the Democratic primary race between Brian Kunzi and Nicholas Anthony Del Vecchio.

Against Marijuana laws, but would still follow current laws

Continuing:

While she is running as a Republican, Lord said she is fundamentally still a Libertarian. She is against marijuana laws but will prosecute offenders as long as the drug is illegal in Nevada. But Lord said she won't prosecute a case where someone's Fourth Amendment rights were violated due to an illegal search.

"I am not required to represent the county commissioners personally. I will represent Nye County as if it's a corporate client, and I have over a decade of experience in that regard," Lord said.

Nye County is located in southwest Nevada and borders California (Death Valley area). Parumph is the largest town with a population of 28,000. It is considered an exurb of Las Vegas. The County is home to three legal brothels.
