Boca Raton, Florida, July 31, 2007 - Palm Beach County could find itself with a libertarian-minded county commissioner if Governor Charlie Crist appoints one of the two libertarians who have put in their application for the district 3 seat.

Last week Libertarian Party member and registered Republican, Philip Blumel turned in his application for the job. Today, Governor Crist received an application from registered Libertarian Roy Brubaker.

Since the stepping down of Warren Newell from the district 3 seat, Governor Charlie Crist will appoint a new member to the commission to serve out the remainder of his term. Libertarians in the county have been contacting the Governor encouraging him to appoint one of the two libertarian applicants.

Roy Brubaker is a computer programmer and Philip Blumel is a financial planner, both living within district 3.

The Libertarian Party of Palm Beach County had earlier announced efforts to have up to ten elected officials in Palm Beach County after the 2008 general election.
