Nicholas Sarwark (born August 27, 1979) is a businessman and criminal defense attorney from Manchester, New Hampshire. He is the current chair of the Libertarian National Committee and a public defender. Prior to this, he served as Vice-Chair of the Libertarian Party of Colorado and the Libertarian Party of Maryland. He also served on the Judicial Committee from 2004 to 2014. He is also a former clerk for the Institute for Justice, and a former consultant.
In his 2014 run for national chair he ran on a platform of aggressively targeting independent and unaffiliated voters. At the 2012 national convention he gave the nomination speech for the successful effort to select NOTA.
He has noted that his day job is keeping poor people out of prison.
He now lives in the Phoenix, Arizona area, and is often seen at meetings of the Arizona Libertarian Party and the Maricopa County Libertarian Party.
