Candidate Resources

LP National

There is a wealth of information on the LP National website. All worth looking at and thinking about. For example - lifetime members? Those are people who are committed. Find the lifetime members in your state and see about giving them a personal call. Explain your campaign, ask for advice, and see if you can garner their support.

Some examples:

LP Campaign Training

These are videos from Cara Schulz (LP National staff - Candidate Recruitment specialist). Cara is amazing, she's an elected Libertarian, and she knows what she's talking about when she tells you how to plan and execute a campaign. Browse through all the videos. If you have a question, chances are at some point, Cara has answered it.

Here are some recommended videos. You can find all these and more on Cara's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/CaraSchulz/videos

Other Resources

Online Training

These are non-LP resources, but all have good stuff there. Plus they often provide links to additional materials that you can use to dive deeper into particular subjects.

Libertarian Party Resources

LP Action

The place to start, IMHO, if you’re going to be running a campaign as a Libertarian. You’ll find a lot of information here, from people who have run - and learned - from campaigns in the past.

Checklists

Summary articles and lists of things you might want to consider or cover as part of your campaign.

A lot of times you’ll find yourself thinking “I need to look at…” just as you get distracted by something else. These lists make for a great resource to help remind you of topics or areas that you meant to get to, but didn’t, or which you completely overlooked.

Tools

These are all links, tools, or other resources that I’ve found useful at one point or another.

  • Does your state DOT provide traffic volume maps? (ex, for PA: Pennsylvania Traffic Volume Map. These are fantastic for determining sign and advertising placement.
  • You should look for other state information as well - zip code boundary maps, municipal statistics, and a statistic atlas for your state can be invaluable when looking at voter demographics.
