In 2020, its presidential candidate Jo Jorgensen received over 38,000 votes in Wisconsin, more than Joe Biden’s alleged margin of victory. Nationally she finished third in the popular vote with about 1.9 million votes, 1.2% of the national total. Gary Johnson, the party’s 2016 candidate for president, won 3.3% of the vote, totaling nearly 4.5 million, marking the most successful third-party candidacy since Ross Perot in 1996.  

The LP stands for “more freedom and less government.” Its platform calls for major reductions in the size and cost of government in every area. See https://www.lp.org/.   From the national party’s website: “Libertarians strongly oppose any government interference in your personal, family, and business decisions. Essentially, we believe all Americans should be free to live their lives and pursue their interests as they see fit as long as they do no harm to another.”

(920) 604-4074 [email protected]		From the state party’s website: “The Libertarian Party of Wisconsin will be the leader in our state’s Liberty Movement. Our goal is nothing more nor less than a world set free in our lifetime.” In 2002 Ed Thompson, brother of Tommy Thompson and the Mayor of Tomah, Wisconsin, ran for Governor of Wisconsin, garnering over 10% of the vote.   The state LP has been getting its act together in recent years. It produces The LP Wire, a monthly e-newsletter. It has an event page that promoted two events on the day I visited it (2/2/0/2022), one of them hosted by a different group. Its 2022 state convention will be held in Green Bay April 29-May 1.
