Dear Libertarian,
I have TWO victories to share with you!
In the last couple of weeks we have secured 2018 ballot access in BOTH Illinois and Ohio!
These victories required thousands of hours of volunteer and staff effort and hundreds of thousands of dollars in financial support.
Many thanks to all of you who have pitched with your time, talents, and dollars.
With your help, we are making major progress on behalf of Libertarian candidates in these states and elsewhere. Even when the two old parties write the laws, rig the system to be unfair, and spend millions to deny the voters a Libertarian option, we rise together and overcome.
Our team is working aggressively, strategically, and methodically, year-round towards ensuring that our 2020 nominees have ballot access in all 50 states plus DC. A critical piece of that is overcoming the biggest barriers now so that we can focus on other critical things, like candidate support, closer to elections.
We now have 2018 ballot access in 40 states plus DC.
Now that we’ve completed the work in Illinois and Ohio, our next priorities are New York and Connecticut.
In order to achieve ballot access in New York and Connecticut, the national party needs to raise and spend up to $40,000.
If you’d like to be part of this critical work, please donate to the Ballot Access Fund. By doing so, you are putting Libertarian candidates on ballots.
These victories in Illinois and Ohio required teamwork, with thousands of Libertarians from across the country pitching in. Indeed, ALL political progress requires team work. I ask you to be part of this same winning team in accomplishing ballot access in Connecticut and New York and putting Libertarians on ballots there!
As always, thank you!
Nicholas Sarwark
Chair, Libertarian National Committee
