==History== | |||
The history of a local affiliate of the Libertarian Party in the Rochester, New York area dates back to 1984 when the Rochester Libertarian Party was in existence. The affiliate was mentioned in a newspaper article from July 1984, where seventeen Libertarians marched in the rain for liberty, accompanied by seven police officers. [[W. Alan Burris]] served as Vice Chair at the time. The party faded in the early 1990s, based on a statement from Bruce Voris in a 2000 newspaper article upon the formation of the second incarnation of the party. | |||
In 2000, the Monroe County Libertarian Party was formed. Their founding convention occurred on February 15, 2000 at the Rochester Engineering Society Conference Room. Steve Healey was the organizer. | |||
