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:
“The current of our thoughts made as sudden bends as the river, which was continually opening new prospects to the east or south, but we are aware that rivers flow most rapidly and shallowest at these points.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Latin America is very fond of the word “hope.” We like to be called the “continent of hope.” Candidates for deputy, senator, president, call themselves “candidates of hope.” This hope is really something like a promise of heaven, an IOU whose payment is always being put off. It is put off until the next legislative campaign, until next year, until the next century.”
—Pablo Neruda (1904–1973)
