LPWI Confirms Libertarian Presidential Candidate on Wisconin Ballot for November

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Libertarian Party of Wisconsin confirms Oliver/ter Maat presidential ticket with Wisconsin Elections Commission.

The Libertarian Party of Wisconsin (LPWI) has ensured ballot access for the Chase Oliver presidential campaign in Wisconsin, giving voters a much-needed alternative this November.

Chase Oliver was elected as the presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party at the party’s national convention in May. Mike ter Maat was subsequently elected as the vice-presidential candidate. Accordingly, the LPWI has submitted necessary and proper documentation to the Wisconsin Elections Commission to ensure their appearance on Wisconsin ballots.

As the third largest political party in the country, Libertarian candidates play a critical role in the outcome of the presidential election, receiving the third most votes in Wisconsin in each of the last three presidential elections. In both 2016 and 2020, the margin of victory was less than the vote total of the Libertarian candidate. In what promises to be another close and contentious election in 2024, the performance of the Libertarian candidate in the state of Wisconsin may very well decide our country’s next president.

In 2022, Chase Oliver ran for Senate in Georgia and was widely credited with causing the runoff election between Warnock and Walker. Oliver is a champion of the rights of the individual against the growing power of the state. For more information on the Oliver/ter Maat campaign, please visit https://votechaseoliver.com/ .

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Stop Wars!! Say Libertarians

Dresser, WI—Stop killing for politics and profits, said the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin (LPWI) in resolutions passed at its annual convention in Madison, WI, April 13^th.

While the convention had failed to pass a strong-enough foreign policy plank to the state Party platform, two subsequent resolutions from the floor won overwhelming endorsement. Both of the statements called for radical changes in the approach to United States foreign affairs.

The two resolutions combined calls for ending US military and security agency involvement overseas; and the withdrawal of support, financial and otherwise, direct or indirect, from all conflicts between or within other countries. In consequence, the resolutions affirm a sense of the Party that even in foreign policy, the Libertarian principles of “do not harm anyone; do not steal from anybody,” apply universally.

The resolutions came on a particularly critical day, as news reports filtered into the convention of the Iranian drone and missile attacks on Israel, further escalating a dangerous crisis for the world.

One resolution called for ending foreign military alliance commitments; and disposing of US military property and foreign deployments of American military personnel; and ending non-citizen military contracts (with essentially mercenaries) that support US policies. It also called on the United States, as a nation of individual people, to lead a total effort to dismantle and decommission all nuclear weapon arsenals world-wide.

The second resolution, submitted by Jacob VandenPlas, an Iraq War veteran, former Congressional candidate, and former chair of the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin, unequivocally demanded: “That the US stops its policy of using money or other support to individuals or institutions or organizations that cause harm, kill people, or perpetuate murder.”
