[[Fran Moore]] was Chair in 1973-1974.  In 1974 LP News [[Fran Moore]] and [[Robert Loomis]] are listed as co-chairs.<BR />
[[Walter Gengarelly]] served as Vice-Chair at some point.<BR />
[[Robert Loomis]] is listed as chair in the August/September 1975 convention guide.  Listing him as 1975-1976 is a guess based on an assumption of when he was elected.

Fran Moore was Chair in 1973-1974. In 1974 LP News Fran Moore and Robert Loomis are listed as co-chairs.
Walter Gengarelly served as Vice-Chair at some point.
Robert Loomis is listed as chair in the August/September 1975 convention guide. Listing him as 1975-1976 is a guess based on an assumption of when he was elected.

Public Officeholders

Gordon Haave is believed to be the first Libertarian elected to public office in the state of Connecticut.[1] He was elected as a Greenwich Representative Town Meeting member in November, 1995.

As of February, 2018, there are at least two Libertarians serving in office:

Robin Lasky - Branford Solid Waste Management Commission (Appointed June, 2016)
Matthew Radant - Plainfield Board of Education (Appointed November, 2017)

There have also been several known Libertarians elected to office by running as Republicans and Democrats. Most recently, in November, 2013 Joshua Katz was elected as a Republican to the Westbrook Planning Commission[2], and Sean Foley was elected as a Democrat to the Burlington Board of Finance.[3]
