Libertarians have been active in Santa Clara County since the very earliest days of the LP, and the county group includes among its members two former National Chairs. There were Libertarians from Santa Clara County on the November ballot both for Congress and the state legislature every two years from 1980 (when the LPC gained ballot status) until the enactment of the "Top Two" primary system. Libertarians have run for many local offices in Santa Clara County, and several have been elected -- and some re-elected. | |||
