The Libertarian Party's nationwide goal for 2018 is to run 2,000 Libertarian candidates.
We already have 423 of those planned candidates listed on LP.org, plus another 60 on a secret list. That’s 483 candidates total toward our goal of 2,000.
A potential candidate is placed on our list if we know about them and if they:
- Have declared they are running
- Articulate a specific race they are running for
- Know and understand the filing requirements and are working towards meeting them (or are working with their state party on this)
If they fill all three requirements, we add them to the website. State parties can request certain candidates not to be listed on the website, and a few states prefer to withhold all of their candidates until they are officially nominated.
But most of you we want to list right away to help you get noticed. We can’t start promoting you if we don’t know about you.
If you’re a candidate and not already on our list, please send a note to bob.johnston@lp.org.
If you're even just a little bit interested in running for office, please go to LP.org/run and fill out the form. A representative from the LP will follow-up with you shortly.
Sincerely,
Wes Benedict
Executive Director
Executive Director
