Do you want to see Alachua County come down from having the highest millage rate in Florida? Do you want to see a City of Gainesville that is business friendly and fosters an environment of opportunity for all? Do you want to see more choice and competition in schools?
Great! Then we need YOU to run for office in 2018!
Alachua County is a unique area with a large conservative ring wrapped around a solid liberal core and the The Libertarian Party is the ideal party to address the entire constituency as we believe in both economic and social freedom. Plus, the midterm elections are a great entry point for Libertarians as typically only the most politically aware show up to vote and not just blindly down party lines.
Below is a list of 27 offices coming up for election in 2018. Let us know which one you are interested in and we will help you file your paperwork, raise money, publish press releases, put up yard signs and canvas the community.
