Six more Libertarians were nominated at District Conventions on March 20th joining the 18 nominees selected at the recent County Convention. The 24 local nominees is a new record for Travis County Libertarians. Meanwhile local Republicans will only have 18 names on this November’s general election ballot.
The TCLP also saw growth in convention delegates as well as members willing to serving as Precinct Captains. Many of the new delegates were first time voters. Of the new libertarians, many claimed to have been Libertarian since they were politically aware. Others have come from one of the older parties having decided that the Libertarian Party better reflects their political values.
If you want to get active with our party, please let us know. We have an immediate need for more Precinct Captains, part-time campaign staffers and financial backers. Even if all you can do for now is vote for our candidates, it would be a pleasure to hear from you.
Six local district conventions will be held Saturday, March 20, starting at 1:00 p.m.
Location is the Travis County Commissioners meeting room in the Granger Building, 314 West 11th Street, Austin.
The following offices will be considered:
U.S. Representative, District 10
U.S. Representative, District 21
U.S. Representative, District 25
State Board of Education, District 5
State Board of Education, District 10
State Senator, District 25

The delegates to the Travis County Libertarian Party County Convention elected 18 nominees for the 2010 General Elections in November filling all available ballot spots in non-judicial races. A TCLP press release lists the results.
The most hotly contested race saw Kent Philips narrowly defeat Ron Bennett in a 3 way race for the nomination for State Senate in District 14.
Rock Howard, Arthur DiBianca and Gary Johnson were re-elected as Chair, Treasurer and Secretary of the Travis County Libertarian Party. Delegates were selected for district and state conventions. The delegates passed resolutions to further restrict the use of eminent domain in Texas and to end taxpayer funding for lobbying.
