Election Day is 10 days away. Remember to vote, whether you mail in your ballot, cast your ballet at your county auditor’s office or a satellite voting location before Election Day, or feed your ballot through a machine on November 8, 2016 at your precinct polling site. We ask for your vote for our Libertarian Party candidates.
Keep talking to friends, families, and other acquaintances about our candidates, from the presidential/vice presidential ticket of Gary Johnson/Bill Weld down the ballot to Libertarians running in non-partisan county contests. There are still volunteer opportunities to get out the vote, particularly for the Johnson-Weld campaign. Contact the campaign through the Iowa for Gary Johnson Facebook page or by sending an email to the LPIA at marco@lpia.org.
Our goal is to have Libertarians elected to office, but there are other ways to shake up Iowa. We have seen media in Iowa mention Libertarians this year far more than in previous election years. This is because of you. You told the news reporters that you wanted Gary Johnson, not the Republican or Democrat – and the news editors listened. Your vote for Libertarian candidates will continue to inform those editors that Iowans want the Libertarians included in news stories about voters’ options.
We believe Gary Johnson is the best choice for president. Even if he does not get the most votes in Iowa, though, the LPIA gains more equal footing with the Republicans and Democrats for the 2018 gubernatorial and other elections if Johnson gets at least 2% of the statewide vote. Imagine what we can do to improve the lives of Iowans if Johnson gets 5%, 10%, or 20% – or 49%.
Down the ballot, every vote for a Libertarian running for the Iowa House or Senate, County Supervisor or Sheriff, or a County Hospital Trustee, is a vote for a better future for Iowa. Even if the Libertarian candidate you vote for this year does not win – and we hope he or she does – it is one more person saying we are ready for a change in how we do business / operate government in Iowa.
Let’s shake up Iowa! Let’s bring on the third party! Vote Libertarian!
