Run For Office
Three Kinds Of Libertarian Party Candidates:
-
Too many elections in Kansas are uncontested elections. Too many contested elections only have duopoly candidates as a choice. Being a Choice Candidate gives voters in your race a new option besides the Tiresome Two. It gives them the option to vote Libertarian!
If running an active campaign for office is not right for you, consider running as a Choice Candidate!
-
In addition to providing another choice on the ballot, our Change Candidates will be trying to change the hearts and minds of the voters to earn their votes! Earning votes takes time and effort, especially from someone who has never voted Libertarian.
A Change Candidate will make an impact on the election and help grow the Libertarian Party. If you are ready to put yourself out to the public to change hearts and minds, consider running as a Change Candidate!
-
Are you ready to go all-in on a run for public office? That makes you one of our Challenge Candidates! Our Challenge Candidates will seriously challenge their opponents and work to win the election.
If you are ready to go all in, challenge your opponents, recruit volunteers and donors, grow the Libertarian Party, and win a partisan race, then run as a Challenge Candidate!
If you are interested in running for office as a Libertarian, we are here to help!
