Tri-Counties Libertarian Party is an affiliate of the Libertarian Party of Illinois founded in 2015, reaching out to Liberty-minded individuals in Montgomery, Christian and Shelby counties.
As of June 2019, Tri-Counties has multi-district representation in the following state and Federal legislative districts:
- Illinois House: Districts 95, 96 & 102
- Illinois Senate: Districts 48 & 51
- U.S. House: Districts 13 & 15
Early Days (2015-2017)
Plans for the chapter began in January to establish a local affiliate of the party with the initial reach being Montgomery and Christian counties. Shelby County was added in May 2016 following the addition of new members to the state party.
Although there were some struggles to gain membership locally, a major push was attempted during the summer months in 2016 to get the required membership for recognition with the state party.
The party attained recognized status with the party in April 2017.
Current Status (2017-Present)
Due to the inactivity of Capital Area Libertarian Party, Tri-Counties received a request from the party's field operations division in October 2017 to take them in indefinitely. While an inactive chapter, Capital Area is currently considered an sub-affiliate of Tri-Counties.
The addition of Capital Area expands the current chapter territory to Sangamon County, three Illinois House districts, two Illinois Senate districts and an additional Congressional district. In October 2018, the Capital Area chapter was given control to the Field Operations Division of the Libertarian Party of Illinois for redevelopment.
