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 non-partisan offices in Santa Clara County, and several have been elected -- and some re-elected. | 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.

Activities in recent years have included outreach booths at public events, providing arguments in the county voter pamphlet opposing tax and bond measures, running [[Libertarian Party of Santa Clara County Radio Ads|radio ads]] opposing items on the ballot, participating in parades, holding an informal monthly coffee meeting open to the public, and making public statements providing a libertarian perspective on actions being considered by local governments. In the 2016, 2018, and 2020 primary elections there were local Libertarian candidates on the ballot for Congress and the state legislature. (But in this area under "Top Two" the November ballot typically ends up offering only two Democrats for such offices.)
