Revision as of 01:47, 14 February 2018 by JWD3 (talk | contribs) (restructure historical section to include explanation of region numbers)

The Libertarian Party of San Francisco is a local affiliate of the Libertarian Party of California. The city and county of San Francisco are contiguous, with a unified government, so unlike the other county parties in California the LPSF is directly concerned with a single municipality.
