/r/CTLibertarians
A group for libertarians in Connecticut, including unregistered but liberty-leaning individuals. Party news, candidates, communications, etc. This is an unofficial page for the political party in Connecticut. It is a priority of the subreddit to further the goals of the state party but that is not this subreddit's primary objective.
This is the subreddit for Connecticut residents who identify as Libertarians. As a reminder, please be civil; we are all on the same side here. If you disagree, please disagree respectfully. Please try to be as productive as possible with suggestions.

Jeremy Kauffman (LPNH) and Dave Smith are debating the LPNH's spiciest tweets right now. Must listen. Please share like crazy. https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1OdKrzXRzkwKX?s=20
The only candidate on the CT LP site is Aaron Lewis for governor (who happens to be anti-choice). The LPofCT Twitter account has nothing about the election, candidates, or issues important to the people of Connecticut.
The purpose of a political party is to run candidates, get them elected, and implement legislation. Whoever is in charge of the CT LP and their communications has failed.
Here's one of many tweets from the CT GOP focusing on issues important to voters in the upcoming election:
At the same time, the CT Libertarian Party is tweeting about how Democrats are "NPCs", Pelosi going to Taiwan, anti-FBI responses to Trump's home being searched, and one particularly tone deaf retweet of someone claiming the 2020 election was stolen.
Where is the engagement with CT voters? What is the CT LP gubernatorial candidate doing today? Which candidates is the CT LP endorsing? How will voting for those candidates improve the lives of CT citizens?
Political parties have one goal: Get people elected. The CT LP seems focused on everything but that.
My parents complain that all the doctors want to leave the state. Maybe it something about the legal climate in Connecticut. They complain about how long it takes to get a doctors appointment and how no one wants to retire here unless they have family here.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to date a nom liberal in CT? I'm 29 and tired of being verbally assaulted when people learn that I'm pro 1A, 2A. That I believe in freedom of choice and not government regulations. Just tired on constantly getting beaten down
AS EMAILED:
The Libertarian Party of Connecticut is looking for dedicated, outgoing, and enthusiastic individuals to help raise funds for upcoming ballot access efforts and beyond.
At our convention earlier this month, we nominated several fantastic candidates for state office but we need some more financial firepower in the bank in order to support them.
Last December, our central committee approved the hiring of fundraisers at a rate of 18% of donations received. So if you were to bring in a donation of $100 to the party, you would get $18.
The LPCT Finance Committee is currently looking for people for these roles. If this something that might interest you, please send an e-mail to treasurer@lpct.org and someone will contact with more details.
Governor: Dr. Aaron Lewis
Treasurer: Joanna Laiscell
Congressional District 3: Dr. Amy Chai
Congressional District 2: William Hall
Look for more information coming soon about these candidates and how to get involved with the campaigns.
From a press release of the LPCT:
Be advised that the Libertarian Party of Connecticut will be holding its Regular Convention on April 2, 2022, 9 AM at the Courtyard by Marriot at 4 Sebethe Drive, Cromwell, CT to nominate its candidates for US Senate, Congressional Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 as well as Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of the State, Attorney General, Treasurer, and Comptroller, and to otherwise conduct party business per its bylaws including the election of its officers and State Central Committee. Please refer to LPCT.org for any information regarding cancellations or postponements.
We are looking at what will likely be our biggest convention ever!
If you had previously registered for the Convention that was planned for January 29th, you are still registered for the new date. If the new date does not work for you, you can cancel your registration here. If you have yet to register, please do so here.
You must be a Regular Member of the Libertarian Party of Connecticut in order to vote on party business. If you are not yet a member, or if your membership has lapsed, please join or renew here.
Candidates who wish to seek nomination for offices for which we do not have ballot access are strongly encouraged to pull nominating petitions and begin circulating prior. You can access the application here.
Money will be crucial for our statewide and congressional ballot access drive. Please donate as much as you can here.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Secretary, Libertarian Party of Connecticut
Thank you for your understanding with the changing information regarding our Convention.
Due to the Storm's strengthening (12-24 inches expected in Cromwell starting tonight), and the hazardousness of travel across the state, especially from the Eastern half, we have decided the only option we have to ensure both the safety of our members and the legitimacy of our Convention is to postpone to a later date.
We regret the necessity of this decision but hard decisions must be made when Mother Nature plays its games like this.
To Confirm: The Convention will not take place on Saturday, January 29th in Cromwell as planned. We will update the membership on the rescheduled date and will work tirelessly to ensure our candidates get ballot access in November.
We appreciate your understanding as we've had to navigate this storm's progress. Stay safe this weekend.
Onward to Liberty,
Steve Dincher
Secretary, Libertarian Party of Connecticut
Bob Stefanowski recently announced his candidacy for governor, and in his campaign materials so far the color scheme is definitely reminiscent of the Johnson/Weld campaign. What are your thoughts on this? Is this a deliberate choice or a result of there being only so many colors that print on yard signs well? Could this be a silent acknowledgement of the progress that libertarians have made in growing our brand in recent years?
