He was piloting a small, single-engine plane that crashed on Monday night near Dubuque Airport. He was the sole occupant, and was flying for only 1 hour prior. The NTSB is investigating.

He was 59 years old, survived by his wife Ann and two adult children, as well as three teenage stepchildren.

His name will not be removed from the ballot as voting has already begun. (I'm guessing the votes will be given to a replacement candidate?)

Ernst agent? Tongue

Seriously, KCDem might be right here, though the libertarian doesn't seem to be polling too well in IA.....

RIP...sad news.

RIP!

Sounded like a genuinely good guy regardless of ideology.

Very sad esp. since he had children.

My youngest sister (who is a sophomore in college) had the opportunity to interview Dr. Doug Butzier the day before he took off on the flight. I was able to meet with him in Davenport and he was a fine gentleman. He was smart, well read in terms of economics and represented the best type of person to run for office. The Iowa Libertarian Party will miss Dr. Doug greatly. Sad
