Wyden alleges RFK Jr. broke the law in calls urging Libertarians to quit Iowa races

Senate Democrat Ron Wyden alleges Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. violated the Hatch Act by urging Libertarian candidates to exit Iowa's 2nd and 3rd congressional district races. The complaint claims Kennedy used his official position to influence elections, with Libertarian Party leaders alleging an effort to block third-party ballot access. Two Libertarian candidates were targeted in June 2023, with one removed from the general election ballot and the other appealing.
