'''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 June 2019, Tri-Counties has multi-district representation in the following state and Federal legislative districts:
As of the 2022 redistricting and as of its official charter in 2024, this central committee will be serviced by the following political subdivisions:
* Illinois House: Districts 95, 96 & 102
* Illinois Senate: Districts 48 & 51
* U.S. House: Districts 13 & 15


== Early days (2015-2017) ==
=== 15th Congressional District ===
Plans for the chapter began in January to establish a local affiliate of the party with the initial reach being Montgomery and Christian counties. Shelby County was added in May 2016 following the addition of new members to the state party.


Although there were some struggles to gain membership locally, a major push was attempted during the summer months in 2016 to get the required membership for recognition with the state party.
=== Montgomery County ===
* Illinois House: Districts 107, 108 & 110
* Illinois Senate: Districts 54 & 55


The party attained recognized status with the party in April 2017.
=== Christian County ===


== Capital Area consolidation into Tri-Counties and 2022 dissolution (2017-2022) ==
* Illinois House: Districts 95, 96, 107 & 108
Due to the inactivity of [[Capital Area Libertarian Party]], Tri-Counties received a request from the party's field operations division in October 2017 to take them in indefinitely. While an inactive chapter, Capital Area is currently considered an sub-affiliate of Tri-Counties.
* Illinois Senate: Districts 48 & 54


The addition of Capital Area expands the current chapter territory to Sangamon County, three Illinois House districts, two Illinois Senate districts and an additional Congressional district. In October 2018, the Capital Area chapter was given control to the Field Operations Division of the [[Libertarian Party of Illinois]] for redevelopment.
