Real Impact

From statewide reform to neighborhood fixes, elected Libertarians protect wallets and rights—no new taxes, no new red tape.

Voter Choice

Too many races see little competition. Your candidacy guarantees a principled option on every ballot.

Coordinated Support

Plug into LPCA and our Candidate Support Committee (CSC) for guidance, training, and peer coaching.

Eligibility for LPCA Endorsement / CSC Support

  • Current dues‑paying member of the Libertarian Party of California.
  • Registered Libertarian with the California Secretary of State (per Elections Code).

These are necessary but not sufficient conditions for endorsement or support.

Important: Endorsements/support are discretionary and may be granted or revoked by LPCA and/or CSC.
1) Tell us where you want to serve. Governor, Legislature, County, City, School Board, Special District—any office.
2) We connect and coordinate. Filing calendars, messaging, compliance, and team‑building tailored to your race.
3) Launch with a plan. Ballot access steps, fundraising basics, field tactics, and press outreach.
How California primaries work: Most CA offices use the nonpartisan “Top‑Two” system—everyone appears on one ballot and the top two advance, regardless of party. (Partisan primaries apply mainly to President and county party central committees.) :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
