Thank all of our candidates that ran for office this year and the volunteers that put in countless hours of work on their campaigns. While the 2024 elections are over, I encourage everyone to keep the momentum going. Keep an eye out for partisan partial term elections that may be taking place next spring and take a look and see if any non-partisan races are appealing next year. I’d love to help you get started on a 2025 run ASAP!
Congratulations to our newly elected Libertarians!
Congratulations to Andrew Chadderdon for the most votes of any Libertarian Party candidate on the ballot in Michigan with 156,424 votes! Getting 1% or more of the 2022 candidate for Secretary of State winner Joslyn Benson’s winning vote total of 2,467,859 votes ensured us continued ballot access!
