FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Harrisburg, PA, August 8, 2022 – The Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania has fielded the most legislative candidates in nearly thirty years. On the ballot this November will be candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, two for the Pennsylvania Senate, and seventeen for the Pennsylvania House.
“The Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania is in a strong position,” said Rob Cowburn, Chair of the LPPA. “Approval of the two major parties is tanking. People are disenfranchised. They’re struggling and looking for solutions. All of our libertarian candidates understand this. They place people, and principle, and freedom, and rights over party or politics. Our political system has failed the people of Pennsylvania, and it’s time to change it.”
Pennsylvania election law categorized the Libertarian Party as a “minor political party,” meaning they are not given primaries paid by taxpayers, but instead must collect thousands of signatures to reach the ballot.
“The rules are made by the establishment,” Cowburn said. “They’re designed specifically to keep other voices and more choices out of the system. But the people of Pennsylvania deserve better, and we’re fighting to provide them the voices they deserve.”
