Sent to LP News and myself:

The Libertarian Party of Louisiana has seen large increases across the

board this year. We have hired an executive director to handle day to day

operations. The number of registered Libertarians in Louisiana has

increased by more than 42% and that number continues to increase. Our

revenues since August have been more than the last 5 years combined. We

fielded 5 congressional candidates this year that combined, received more

than 124,000 votes, a record for Louisiana Libertarians. We also had more

congressional candidates than the Democrats in Louisiana. The LPL had 2

Libertarians Elected to public office. These are the first two

Libertarians elected to public office in Louisiana history. Moving

forward, the LPL is focused on 2013. In Louisiana, there are more than 100

offices up for election in 2013, many in small towns. We plan to target

these “lower level” offices and get more Libertarians elected to local

offices. In addition, we plan to continue working on increasing the number

of registered Libertarians in Louisiana to more than 10,000 in the year

2013 and expect revenues to exceed 2012 levels. The Libertarian Party of

Louisiana has been very active over the past year and we expect to

continue this level of activity over the next few years.
