The Libertarian Party of West Virginia ("the LPWV" in party bylaws[1]) represents the majority of West Virginians through our conscious efforts to protect liberty by emphasizing self-ownership and property rights. We believe each individual has the right to live as they wish, provided they do not infringe on the rights of others.

Mission

The LPWV is neither Democrat nor Republican. Rather, we represent the majority of West Virginians through our conscious efforts to protect liberty by emphasizing self-ownership and property rights. We believe each individual has the right to live as they wish, provided they do not infringe on the rights of others. This extremely important concept is what separates the LPWV from the two major parties.

Reclaiming Our History

We are working to compile a comprehensive history of the LPWV spanning from inception to present day. Over the years, there have been many changes of the Executive Committee which has led to loss of historical records. If you have information, photos, audio/video, event information, candidate records, etc., please email "chair@lpwv.info" to provide these valuable items for us to archive.
