BUILDING FOR THE NEXT ELECTION
In 2025, @LP_Alabama was recruiting candidates for 2026 while developing tools to support ballot-access efforts and help local affiliates stay organized.
Building liberty takes infrastructure, not just election-year activity.

Recruit before you need candidates.
Identify strong members.
Encourage them to get involved.
Give them leadership experience.
Teach them how campaigns work.
Candidate recruitment should be a year-round effort, not a last-minute scramble.
This should never happen. Political parties should stop sending unsolicited absentee ballot request forms to voters’ homes.
If someone wants to vote absentee, they can request it themselves.
A NEW HIGH-WATER MARK
In 2022, @LP_Alabama Lt. Governor candidate Ruth Page-Nelson received 178,069 votes, or 15.6%.
The party’s chair called it a new high-water mark for an Alabama Libertarian candidate.

After regaining statewide ballot access, @LP_Alabama fielded more than 50 candidates in 2022 and had Libertarian candidates in all 7 U.S. House races.
More candidates means more choices for voters.

I’m writing my second book about what led me to @LPNational, what happened between Angela McArdle and me, and why I ultimately left the Mises Caucus.
It will go in depth and tell the story from my perspective.
Expected August 2027. Preorders coming soon.
