The '''Libertarian Party of New York''' ("'''LPNY'''" in party bylaws) was one of the first Libertarian parties to organize and run candidates in the US. It was originally named the "[[Free Libertarian Party]]" to prevent confusion with New York's Liberal Party. Its first state chair was [[Ed Clark]].
The '''Libertarian Party of New York (LPNY)''' is an affiliate of the National Libertarian Party. The LPNY was one of the first state parties to organize and run candidates in the United States. It was originally known as the [[Free Libertarian Party]] (FLP) to prevent confusion with New York's Liberal Party and it was incorporated as a corporation under the name Free Libertarian Party, Inc. [[Ed Clark]] was the temporary chair, who led the the organization of the state affiliate and on April 1, 1973, during the first convention, [[Andrea Millen Rich]] was elected first chair. In 2018, [[Larry Sharpe]] received over 50,000 votes in his run for Governor, which secured automatic ballot access for the party in New York for the first time in its history.

{{main|History of the Libertarian Party of New York}}


===1971—1973: Beginnings===
The [[Libertarian Party of New York]] (LPNY) was founded in 1972, initially known as the "Free Libertarian Party." The party's early years were marked by the formation of local clubs and the organization of the first state conventions, where key figures like Ed Clark and Jerome Klasman played pivotal roles in establishing the party's structure and leadership. The party also made its first attempts at fielding candidates for public office, although these early campaigns faced significant challenges, such as difficulties in gathering enough petition signatures to get on the ballot.
The Libertarian Party was established in 1971 and soonafter many states started to work to form state parties. In New York, the party became known as the "Free Libertarian Libertarian." On April 22, 1972, the first meeting of the New York Libertarian was held, in which [[Ed Clark]] was elected Temporary Chair.


In the June—July 1972 edition of ''[[The Libertarian Forum]]'', Murray Rothbard reported that he joined the Academic Advisory Board for the party. Founding members of the party include [[Ed Clark|Edward]] and [[Alicia Clark]] and [[Jerome J. Klasman]]. Clark served as the Temporary State Chairman as early as April 1972, when [[Guy Riggs]] was running for State Assembly, as one of the first Libertarian candidates in the state. Two other Libertarians ran as candidates in 1972: [[Walter Block]] for State Assembly and [[Gary Greenberg]] for U.S. House.
The LPNY held its founding convention in March 1973, a significant event that drew around 95 attendees. This convention was notable for its adoption of bylaws and the election of state officers, including Andrea Millen as Chair. The party also selected candidates for various local offices in New York City for the 1973 elections. Despite the enthusiasm and energy at the convention, the party decided not to adopt a formal state platform at that time, reflecting the diverse views within its membership.


In late October, Riggs suspended his campaign after he received only 900 out of the required 1,500 petition signatures to get on the ballot. It was reported that his campaign received nationwide attention including a network radio commentary. Riggs' campaign committee went on to form the [[Mid Hudson Libertarian Club]]. The first meeting of the [[Mid Hudson Libertarian Club]] was held in late September 1972. By this time, [[Jerome J. Klasman]] was Temporary State Chair and was guest speaker to the club's first meeting. From this club, [[Sanford Cohen]] announced in candidacy for U.S. House for the 25th congressional district in January 1973. The club continued to hold regular meetings throughout the early-to-mid 1970s.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the LPNY continued to grow and evolve, with various leadership changes and internal disputes. The party became more organized, establishing a platform committee in the early 1980s and adopting a formal platform in 1983. During this period, the party also engaged in legal battles, such as a lawsuit against the Post Office, and focused on building its base rather than expending resources on statewide campaigns. Leadership during these years included figures like Carl Hastings, Thomas Frederick, and Gary Greenberg.


===1973: Founding Convention===
The 1990s and early 2000s saw the LPNY continuing its efforts to establish itself as a significant political force in New York. Notable events include Howard Stern's brief run for governor in 1994 and the party's increased efforts in organizing statewide campaigns. The party also focused on internal development, with frequent leadership changes and the establishment of new county chapters. The late 1990s and early 2000s were marked by efforts to expand the party's influence and membership across the state.
The Free Libertarian Party held its founding convention on the weekend of March 29—April 1, 1973 at the Williams Club in Manhattan. Rothbard gives an account of the convention in the April 1973 edition of ''[[The Libertarian Forum]]''. The following is an excerpt describing his observations of the people, reporting that there were about 95 in attendance:


<blockquote>''"To end the suspense, dear reader. I entered the Williams Club a hopeful skeptic and emerged, exhausted but enthusiastic, forty-eight hours later a celebrant. To my joyful surprise, here was a group of men and women almost all intelligent, dedicated, and knowledgeable about liberty. Here, despite a predictably wide spectrum of temperaments and ideologies, despite occasional emotional hassles, yes despite a twelve (or was it thirteen) hour session on amending the by-laws, here was a group of attractive and intelligent young people who almost literally exuded a spirit of warmth, love, and respect for each other and for the common cause. It was truly a sight to behold. At the risk of being maudlin, I affirm that it was indeed a privilege to be present at the creation of the Free Libertarian Party of New York.''
In more recent years, the LPNY has achieved significant milestones, such as gaining major party status after Larry Sharpe's 2018 gubernatorial campaign, which secured over 95,000 votes. This achievement led to the creation of new party rules and a restructuring of the party's leadership and organizational structure. The LPNY has continued to grow, with the formation of numerous Interim County Organizations and the election of several Libertarians to public office. The party's leadership has also continued to evolve, with new officers elected in 2020 and 2021, reflecting the ongoing efforts to strengthen the party's presence and impact in New York politics.


''As we shall see further below, the “instincts” of this rather large group of people (approximately 95) were remarkably sound: a blend of high libertarian principle and good common sense and mutual respect that is all too rare in or out of the Movement. And these were Real People; gone was the old predominance of hophead kids, stoned out of their minds and mumbling about “freedom”. These were young people with feet on the ground, who do things, who work in the world: scholars, engineers, television people, advertising men, civil servants. I would say that the typical FLP member is an ex-Objectivist with none of the unfortunate personality traits of the latter, who has been moving rapidly into, or on the edge of, anarcho-capitalism. But both the anarcho-capitalists and the sizable minority of limited archists (or “minarchists”, to use the happy phrase of Sam Konkin), showed a happy willingness to work together for the large spectrum of common ends.''
==Organization==
{{main|Organization of the Libertarian Party of New York}}
For the first 45 years of its history, the Libertarian Party of New York held an annual convention to elect five officers (Chair, two Vice Chairs, Secretary, and Treasurer) and give At-Large members. These ten members, along with the Immediate Past Chair (if any), plus one representative from each recognized local affiliate, comprised the State Committee]. Business was conducted in quarterly meetings until the early 2000s, when monthly teleconferences became the norm. In years past, the State Committee conducted business through mail ballots, until the advent of the internet. In 1999, business started to be conducted online at Yahoo Groups, which was active for business until the Free Libertarian Party, Inc. corporation was voted to dissolve in November 2019.


''And then, wonder of wonders to a veteran of the New York movement, there was actually a sizable number of girls at the Convention, ranging moreover from attractive to ravishing (and if this be Male Chauvinism, then make the most of it!) It was also a standing wry joke in the New York movement that the proportion of females ranged from zero to somewhere around one per cent: surely this new quantum leap is a fine omen for the growth and success of the movement. Furthermore, I had personally met no more than a dozen of the delegates before — and this in a movement whose members for a long while barely spilled over the confines of a small living room!"''</blockquote>
The party was led by an Interim State Committee (ISC), which was formed in February 2019 and acknowledged as the successor to the corporation in May 2019. The ISC is made up of 21 appointed members, which are set to serve until the elected State Committee convenes on September 26, 2020.


The party went on to adopt a set of bylaws and then discussed adopting a party platform. The platform committee was presented with what Rothbard referred to as a "Randian archist platform" by Paul Hodgson. To offset this, the anarchists submitted a minority platform. However, neither platform gained any traction and it was decided to move forward with no state platform. The following day, April 1, 1973, state officers were elected. [[Andrea Millen]], a TV producer, was elected Chair. [[Howard Rich]], a candidate in Rockland County was elected Vice-Chair along with Dr. [[Raymond Strong]], leader in the Brooklyn party. [[Mike Nichols]] was elected Secretary and [[Jerome J. Klasman]] was elected Treasurer. There were also three At-Large positions, and those elected were [[Gary Greenberg]], an attorney, [[Samuel Edward Konkin III]], Editor of New Libertarian Notes, and [[Joe Castrovinci]].
===Leadership===
 
{{main|Leadership of the Libertarian Party of New York}}
The following candidates were chosen to run for the 1973 local elections in New York City: [[Fran Youngstein]] for Mayor, [[Bill Lawry]] for City Council President, [[Tom Avery]] for Comptroller, [[Louis Sicilia]] for Manhatton Borough President, [[Paul Streitz]] for City Council At-Large, [[Ray Goldfield]] for City Council, and [[Spencer Pinney]] for City Council.
 
===1973—1974===
In [[1973]], it ran a slate of candidates in the New York City municipal elections including [[Fran Youngstein]] for mayor and [[Gary Greenberg]] for Manhattan district attorney. The LPNY has run statewide candidates regularly since [[1974]] when its candidate for governor was [[Jerome Tuccille]].
 
<blockquote>"It is a measure of the state of the Free Libertarian Party of New York that our marathon annual convention (March 29-31) was scarcely enough to finish the Party business. This despite a preceding Special Convention at which we wrangled over the party logo and chose delegates to the National Convention in Dallas in June, and despite the fact that the Convention began every morning promptly at 10:00 A. M. and lasted through special caucuses and post-mortems until after the bars closed at 3:00 A. M. Yet we concluded with no resolutions on issues and no platform. these being put back to yet another mini-convention at the end of April. Three conventions in two months begins to resemble the unfortunate and frenetic Peace and Freedom Party of 1968, which reached a crescendo of almost continuous conventioneering before its rapid demise."
<br/><div align="right">— The Libertarian Forum, April 1974</div></blockquote>
 
<blockquote>"Meanwhile. New York's Free Libertarian Party has had its annual spring convention. Your editor is living in California for the spring, and so was not able to attend, but from all reports the convention was almost remarkably smooth and harmonious, free of the factionalism and of the barely suppressed hysteria of the year before. In a personal triumph, the able but formerly widely attacked Gary Greenberg has been elected state chairman."<br/><div align="right">— The Libertarian Forum, April 1975</div></blockquote>
 
===1974—1977===
At the 1976 State Convention, during the election of At-Large representatives, there were a number of people upset that [[Roy Childs]] was not elected At-Large. He had 18 votes, the winners had between 21 and 23 votes. As a result, [[Charles Blood]] resigned at convention, and so the next day they held another election. [[John Caulfield]], who had 19 votes in the first election, won over Childs by a few votes. Seeing how this did not resolve the situation, Caulfield resigned, effective at adjournment, forcing a ballot fo the vacancy by mail. It seems that [[Mike Nichols]] may have ultimately won in that e-mail ballot.
 
Vice Chair Don Feder left the state, opening up a third vacancy on the State Committee for the year. Carl Hastings was elected to fill that vacancy. Hastings was an At-Large, so a vacancy was created, and Cheryl Blanchette took his place.
 
John Deane, the Chair of the State Party, resigned, and the vacancy was filled by Vice Chair, Ann Weill. With a vacancy in the Vice Chair spot, there was another election.
 
===1977—1987===
[[Carl Hastings]] was elected Chair in 1977, serving for 1 year. He was followed by [[Thomas Frederick]], who served until his resignation and was succeed by [[Chuck Steber]], who served until 1979. Former Chair [[Gary Greenberg]] was elected Chair once again in 1979, serving until 1982.
 
In the early 1980s, a Platform Committee was formed to build the platform of the party. [[Steve Schneider]] and [[Bill McMillen]] were among the members.
 
===1987—2015===
In 1987, a new publication, [[Free New York]], was created as a newsletter for the party.
 
In 1994, [[Howard Stern]] sought the Libertarian Party nomination for Governor of New York and won the nomination at the State Convention. However, he later dropped from the ticket due to his refusal to disclose his financial records. The nomination of Stern was controversial, in that supporters saw this as an opportunity for major party status, while others saw this as a threat to libertarian principles.
 
The 1998 State Convention was held in Poughkeepsie, where [[Christopher Garvey]] and [[Donald Silberger]] were nominated to head the Governor / Lt. governor's ticket. Conti and Goodman also ran for statewide offices. Bill McMillen and Ambassador Alan Keyes are candidates for U.S. Senate, and McMillen is given the nomination. Among the noted speakers at the convention included Sharon Harris, Michael Cloud, John Cushman, Ron Crickenberger, and Muni Savynon. [[Jim Harris]] was voted as the new state chair.
 
In July 1998, delegates from New York attended the national convention in Washington, D.C. David Bergland served as chair and Muni Savyon as Regional Representative. In August 1998, the LPNY handed over 27,862 signatures in Albany to get the statewide candidates on the ballot.
 
In 2006, [[Bill Weld]] sought the Libertarian Party's nomination for governor, but later declined.
 
===2015—2018: Chapter Growth===
In April 2015, [[Mark Glogowski]] was elected chair, and there began a rapid growth of forming new county chapters, especially in Western New York, where Libertarian Party activity was not as active. The Chapter Development Committee was formed, in which [[Phil Ricci]] served as first chair, and [[Jim Rosenbeck]] took over later in the year. The effort in Western New York was led by [[Edward Garrett]], [[Andrew Martin Kolstee]], and [[Kim Ruff]].


In April 2016, the convention was held in New York City, in which a debate was hosted for the Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates. [[Gary Johnson]], [[Austin Petersen]], [[John McAfee]], [[Marc Allan Feldman]], [[Vermin Supreme]] were among those in the debates.
The current leadership of the LPNY consists of the Executive Committee as follows.


In May 2017, the LPNY adopted a Divisional Structure, which had been primarily modeled after Nevada's structure. This divided the committees into five categories. [[Mark Glogowski]] was appointed Administrative Director, [[Andrew Martin Kolstee]] was appointed Communications Director, [[Nate Dinet]] was appointed Outreach Director, [[Brian Waddell]] was appointed Political Director, and [[Gregg Fort]] was appointed Finance Director. A month later, [[Shawn Hannon]] took over as Outreach Director.

===Conventions===
In April 2018, [[Larry Sharpe]] became the party's nominee for governor. He had begun his campaign in July 2017, running an active campaign across the state. [[Jim Rosenbeck]] was elected chair at that convention. A huge statewide petitioning effort was led by a small team consisting of [[Mark Axinn]], [[Jim Rosenbeck]], [[Tucker Coburn]], [[Rich Purtell]], and [[Andrew Martin Kolstee]]. Over 32,000 signatures were collected, and the statewide candidates were successfully placed on the ballot.
{{Main|List of Libertarian Party of New York State Conventions}}


===2018—2019: Major Party Status===
The Libertarian Party of New York State has held a convention every year since its founding in 1973. Typically, the host chapter would cover the costs and keep the proceeds as a fundraiser. The State Committee would choose the location. In gubernatorial years, conventions are typically held in Albany while in Presidential years, conventions are typically held in New York City. In 2018, the party won ballot access. The structure of the committee had to change, in which the business of the convention actually occurs at an organization meeting of the State Committee, which is to be held according to New York State Election Law.
Sharpe ran the most active campaign in the party's history, with many media appearances, events, a huge social media following, and a spot on the debate stage. On Election Day, he received over 95,000 votes, securing ballot access for the LPNY for the first time in its history.


An in-person meeting was held in Syracuse the weekend following Election Day. A Party Rules Subcommittee of 6 members was created under the Administrative Division to create a rules document that complies with Election Law. An additional 5 members were added to the committee, with [[Jim Rosenbeck]] appointed as chair. Following a series of discussions on different versions of rules, another committee led by [[Larry Sharpe]] and composed of 9 of the original 11 members was created. The new committee spent nearly every day working through the document to build a final version. The final version was filed with the New York State Board of Elections on December 24, 2018. The State Committee formally endorsed those rules on January 6, 2019. The rules created a [[Libertarian Party of New York Transition Committee|Transition Committee]], which was tasked with facilitating the transition from January 2019 until the spring 2019 convention.
===Ballot Access===


After a modification of the rules, The Transition Committee was replaced by the [[Libertarian Party of New York Interim State Committee|Interim State Committee]] on February 10, 2019, which held meetings roughly twice per month and focused on developing local Interim County Organizations and vetting and approving candidates to receive certificates of nomination.
The Party won ballot access in 2018 through the gubernatorial campaign of [[Larry Sharpe]], after which the legislature raised the requirements. Several legal challenges were mounted which failed, and the {{MediaNewTab|NY Email 2023-10-17 Ballot-Access.pdf|US Supreme Court declined to hear the case}}.
 
===2019—2020: Growth===
The 2019 convention was held on May 4-5, 2019. The convention elected new leadership of the existing corporation, in which [[Mark E. Glogowski]] was elected chair, and began to outline a vision for the future of repurposing the corporation. A meeting was held on May 5 with the new leadership, followed by the ISC meeting, in which the first Interim County Organizations were chartered along with the issuing of the first candidate certificates.
 
Following the convention, by late July 2019, a total of 20 Interim County Organizations were formed and numerous candidates were nominated. Several of the conventions featured [[Larry Sharpe]] as a speaker, as he continues to travel and speak on libertarianism and growing the party.
 
In November 2019, the State Convention voted to dissolve the Free Libertarian Party, Inc. corporation.
 
On April 15, 2020, ISC Chair [[Jim Rosenbeck]] resigned and was suceeded by [[Tony D'Orazio]] as Chair.

The Libertarian Party of New York (LPNY) is an affiliate of the National Libertarian Party. The LPNY was one of the first state parties to organize and run candidates in the United States. It was originally known as the Free Libertarian Party (FLP) to prevent confusion with New York's Liberal Party and it was incorporated as a corporation under the name Free Libertarian Party, Inc. Ed Clark was the temporary chair, who led the the organization of the state affiliate and on April 1, 1973, during the first convention, Andrea Millen Rich was elected first chair. In 2018, Larry Sharpe received over 50,000 votes in his run for Governor, which secured automatic ballot access for the party in New York for the first time in its history.

History

Main article: History of the Libertarian Party of New York

The Libertarian Party of New York (LPNY) was founded in 1972, initially known as the "Free Libertarian Party." The party's early years were marked by the formation of local clubs and the organization of the first state conventions, where key figures like Ed Clark and Jerome Klasman played pivotal roles in establishing the party's structure and leadership. The party also made its first attempts at fielding candidates for public office, although these early campaigns faced significant challenges, such as difficulties in gathering enough petition signatures to get on the ballot.

The LPNY held its founding convention in March 1973, a significant event that drew around 95 attendees. This convention was notable for its adoption of bylaws and the election of state officers, including Andrea Millen as Chair. The party also selected candidates for various local offices in New York City for the 1973 elections. Despite the enthusiasm and energy at the convention, the party decided not to adopt a formal state platform at that time, reflecting the diverse views within its membership.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the LPNY continued to grow and evolve, with various leadership changes and internal disputes. The party became more organized, establishing a platform committee in the early 1980s and adopting a formal platform in 1983. During this period, the party also engaged in legal battles, such as a lawsuit against the Post Office, and focused on building its base rather than expending resources on statewide campaigns. Leadership during these years included figures like Carl Hastings, Thomas Frederick, and Gary Greenberg.

The 1990s and early 2000s saw the LPNY continuing its efforts to establish itself as a significant political force in New York. Notable events include Howard Stern's brief run for governor in 1994 and the party's increased efforts in organizing statewide campaigns. The party also focused on internal development, with frequent leadership changes and the establishment of new county chapters. The late 1990s and early 2000s were marked by efforts to expand the party's influence and membership across the state.

In more recent years, the LPNY has achieved significant milestones, such as gaining major party status after Larry Sharpe's 2018 gubernatorial campaign, which secured over 95,000 votes. This achievement led to the creation of new party rules and a restructuring of the party's leadership and organizational structure. The LPNY has continued to grow, with the formation of numerous Interim County Organizations and the election of several Libertarians to public office. The party's leadership has also continued to evolve, with new officers elected in 2020 and 2021, reflecting the ongoing efforts to strengthen the party's presence and impact in New York politics.

Organization

Main article: Organization of the Libertarian Party of New York

For the first 45 years of its history, the Libertarian Party of New York held an annual convention to elect five officers (Chair, two Vice Chairs, Secretary, and Treasurer) and give At-Large members. These ten members, along with the Immediate Past Chair (if any), plus one representative from each recognized local affiliate, comprised the State Committee]. Business was conducted in quarterly meetings until the early 2000s, when monthly teleconferences became the norm. In years past, the State Committee conducted business through mail ballots, until the advent of the internet. In 1999, business started to be conducted online at Yahoo Groups, which was active for business until the Free Libertarian Party, Inc. corporation was voted to dissolve in November 2019.

The party was led by an Interim State Committee (ISC), which was formed in February 2019 and acknowledged as the successor to the corporation in May 2019. The ISC is made up of 21 appointed members, which are set to serve until the elected State Committee convenes on September 26, 2020.

Leadership

Main article: Leadership of the Libertarian Party of New York

The current leadership of the LPNY consists of the Executive Committee as follows.

Conventions

Main article: List of Libertarian Party of New York State Conventions

The Libertarian Party of New York State has held a convention every year since its founding in 1973. Typically, the host chapter would cover the costs and keep the proceeds as a fundraiser. The State Committee would choose the location. In gubernatorial years, conventions are typically held in Albany while in Presidential years, conventions are typically held in New York City. In 2018, the party won ballot access. The structure of the committee had to change, in which the business of the convention actually occurs at an organization meeting of the State Committee, which is to be held according to New York State Election Law.

Ballot Access

The Party won ballot access in 2018 through the gubernatorial campaign of Larry Sharpe, after which the legislature raised the requirements. Several legal challenges were mounted which failed, and the US Supreme Court declined to hear the case (info).
