About the Libertarian Party
The Libertarian Party was founded in 1971 as a voice for those who believe in maximum individual freedom and minimal government interference.
We exist because the two major political parties have consistently expanded the size, scope, and cost of government — eroding personal liberty and placing more power in the hands of politicians and bureaucrats.
Icons of the Libertarian Party
Ed Clark
Libertarian Party presidential candidate in 1980, Ed Clark brought the message of liberty to millions. His campaign emphasized individual rights, free markets, and a government limited to its constitutional boundaries.
Harry Browne
Two-time Libertarian Party presidential candidate (1996 & 2000), author, and investment advisor, Harry Browne inspired many with his clarity, integrity, and unwavering commitment to personal and economic freedom.
Ron Paul
Former Congressman and 1988 Libertarian Party presidential candidate, Ron Paul championed sound money, non-interventionism, and the Constitution — inspiring a new generation of liberty-minded activists.
Why We Exist
Our country’s founding principles — individual liberty, free markets, and limited government — are under constant assault.
We exist to restore those principles and to challenge the idea that bigger government automatically means better solutions.
The Libertarian Party offers a home to voters who feel politically homeless: people who want both economic freedom and personal freedom.
What We Offer People
A principled alternative
– We don’t change our core beliefs to win elections. Our platform is rooted in liberty and consistent across time.
Local and national representation
– Libertarians run for office at every level, giving voters a chance to choose freedom on every ballot.
Policy solutions that work
– From criminal justice reform to tax relief, from privacy protection to ending endless wars, our proposals respect both freedom and responsibility.
A movement that empowers you
– The Libertarian Party is made up of everyday people who are tired of being told what to do by career politicians. We invite you to take ownership of your political future.
