Current Candidates
The LPL is currently seeking "serious" candidates for 2013 local elections.
"Serious" candidates, are those individuals who genuinely wish to serve the public as elected officials, and are willing to do as much as is in their power and within their abilities to effectively campaign and participate in the electoral process, with the intent and mindset of actually getting elected. There is little if any evidence of any candidate in modern times being elected to office who thought it "impossible" to win the race, and who took little or no effort to do so.
The LPL strongly discourages "paper" candidates who simply file for ballot access merely to give themselves and their friends a "choice" of voting for someone other than the other party candidates. Instead, the LPL would respectfully request that such persons donate the hundreds or even thousands of dollars they would have spent on their own filing fees to another real campaign, or to the party itself to advance Libertarian policy. If a "paper" candidate files in any race, the LPL will take every measure possible to recruit a "serious" candidate into the race. Such "paper" candidates will most likely not receive any endorsement from the State Party.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or candidates:
“Natural Man, in our current version, is a disgruntled adolescent.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Is it not manifest that our academic institutions should have a wider scope; that they should not be timid and keep the ruts of the last generation, but that wise men thinking for themselves and heartily seeking the good of mankind, and counting the cost of innovation, should dare to arouse the young to a just and heroic life; that the moral nature should be addressed in the school-room, and children should be treated as the high-born candidates of truth and virtue?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
