Libertarians essentially are for little government intervention, no taxes, and personal freedom. The state which has the strongest Libertarian Party membership is the state of New Hampshire. Following in descending order are Idaho, South Dakota, Washington, Montana, Alaska and the District of Columbia.
In New Mexico, the main political parties are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Additionally, the state also has minor parties such as the Libertarian Party and the Green Party which have some presence in elections.
In the US there is one legitimate political party that is for the least amount of government as possible. This is the Libertarian Party. One US Senator identifies himself as a Republican but also a Libertarian, Senator Rand of Kentucky.
(in the US) That would describe the Republican Party.
Independent Libertarian greens
supposedly democrats. although look at the president we have now, didn't keep any of his promises. also, the libertarian party.
Ron Paul is the first one that comes to mind. Libertarian party is the third largest in the US political spectrum, believe it or not. They're very anti-government and promote maximum liberty of the people. The party favors minimal government interference and maximum civil liberties.
No. At least no member of the Libertarian Party has ever served in the US House of Representatives as a Libertarian. However, many congressmen have been sympathetic to Libertarian ideas and, in some cases, the Libertarian Party. A few examples follow: - Rep. Ron Paul, (R-TX) was the 1988 Libertarian presidential nominee and is currently campaigning for the 2008 GOP nomination. His philosophy is very similar to the Libertarian platform. - Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) - Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) - Former Rep. Bob Barr (R-GA) after leaving office, Mr. Barr has become a formal member of the Libertarian Party. - Former Rep. Tom Campbell (R-CA) - Former Rep. Barry Goldwater, Jr (R-CA) - Former Rep. Butch Otter (R-ID)
Republican Party: Jon Greenspon Fred Karger Libertarian party: Lee Wrights Independents: Robert Burck (Naked Cowboy)
At the below link there is also a list of all elected officials from the party. I only noticed one who was in a position at state level or above; Richard Sanders, State Supreme Court, Washington. It is possible that I overlooked someone since I read each individual listing of the 153 mentioned below. Based on that I have concluded that there are no current Libertarian Party members in Congress, although there are probably a few who represent something close to a libertarian philosophy but are endorsed by another party. "Elected Officials Nationwide, there are 153 Libertarians holding elected office: 38 of them partisan offices, and 115 of them non-partisan offices. If you know of an elected Libertarian who is not on this list, please notify us at info@lp.org. General criteria: For partisan offices, the elected official must have appeared on the ballot with the party designation "Libertarian" -or- the elected official must currently be registered to vote as a Libertarian. For non-partisan offices, the elected official must be a current or former dues-paying member of the Libertarian Party." Source: http://www.lp.org/candidates/elected-officials
