Vote Libertarian--we support your rights!

2006 LP Candidates
How to help financially In 2006, the LPNY is fielding a full slate at the statewide level. We need your help campaigning! Please contact a candidate near you to volunteer to help. John Clifton and Donald Silberger are our candidates for Governor and Lt. Governor, respectively. Please see the Clifton/Silberger '06 website Chris Garvey of Amityville won our nomination for Attorney General. Chris Garvey for AG John Cain of Congers won our nomination for State Comptroller. News Release Jeff Russell of Clifton Park won our nomination for US Senate. RussellForSenate.org Dr. Steve Finger of Brooklyn is our candidate for Congress in the 11th district, on both the Republican and Libertarian ballot lines. www.fingerforcongress.org Michael Sylvia of Central NY is the Libertarian candidate for Congress in the 24th district, which will have no incumbant. www.mikesylvia.org Eric Sundwall of Columbia County was endorsed by the Hudson Valley and Capital District Libertarian parties for the 20th Congressional District. He collected signatures, he campaigned hard. His signatures were challenged on the basis of too many voters entering their towns from their postal address, not their proper incorporated township. Legal recourse is still being considered. Sunwall4Congress Please offer them your encouragement, and let us know if you are interested in running as a Libertarian this year or in the future. For statewide candidates, nomination is made at our convention. If the district in question is entirely outside of any county represented by a chapter, then it is the state committee who needs to make the endorsement, otherwise it is any and all chapters contained within the district.				John Clifton Donald Silberger Dr. Steve Finger Mike Sylvia
