About

Welcome to the Libertarian Party of Chicago! We’re glad you’re here. Whether you’re new to politics, exploring alternatives to the traditional two-party system, or a lifelong advocate for liberty, you’ve found a community that values individual freedom, personal responsibility, and limited government. The Libertarian Party of Chicago exists to defend the rights of all people to live their lives as they choose—free from unnecessary government interference—as long as they respect the rights of others to do the same.

Our movement is built on a simple but powerful principle: that freedom works. We believe people, not the government, are best equipped to make decisions about their own lives, property, and futures. From economic liberty to civil liberties, from ending unnecessary wars to reforming the criminal justice system, Libertarians consistently champion the rights of individuals. We work toward a society where voluntary cooperation replaces coercion, and where innovation and diversity can flourish in a truly free market.

Joining the Libertarian Party of Chicago means becoming part of a growing movement that is changing the conversation in Chicago politics. You’ll find principled candidates, passionate activists, and thoughtful citizens all working toward a freer, more peaceful world. No matter your background or experience, there’s a place for you here. Welcome to the party of liberty—we’re excited to stand with you.
