ChrisMont Libertarian Central Committee is an developing affiliate of the Libertarian Party of Illinois that began development in November 2022, reaching out to Liberty-minded individuals in Montgomery and Christian counties. It is formerly known as Tri-Counties Libertarian Party, which was a local chapter from 2015 to 2022.

As of the 2022 redistricting and as of its official charter in 2024, this central committee will be serviced by the following political subdivisions:

15th Congressional District

Montgomery County

  • Illinois House: Districts 107, 108 & 110
  • Illinois Senate: Districts 54 & 55

Christian County

  • Illinois House: Districts 95, 96, 107 & 108
  • Illinois Senate: Districts 48 & 54

Established status in Montgomery County (2022)

Montgomery County became an established county as a result of the 2022 Illinois Attorney General race, where nominee Dan Robin received 5.29 percent of the vote[1], surpassing the 5 percent threshold for major party status at the local level.

Former Tri-Counties chair Jake Leonard is working on re-establishing the former chapter, which will only focus on Montgomery and Christian counties.
