Chase Oliver
President of the United States
Chase Oliver’s campaign for Georgia’s hotly-contested U.S. Senate seat attracted national attention, leading Rolling Stone to dub him the “most influential Libertarian in American.” He is a passionate and energetic champion for the rights of all individuals against the growing power of the state. This 38-year old is bringing the energy the duopoly will have a hard time competing with.

John Morrison
US Congress, District 4
John Morrison's platform and agenda for his congressional bid stands on term limits. He states that his work is cut out for me as Chris Smith has been a member of Congress since 1980, 7 years before John was born. Having leaders in positions of power for over four decades is something our Founders would have deemed incomprehensible. The 4th district is truly John's home, having family throughout both Monmouth and Ocean County. John wants to ensure that his loved ones have a future free of Government interference, and control. John has also been a public school educator, teaching social studies for the last 12 years, and unlike many other candidates he can speak on how federal and state intervention has done nothing but destroy our students' potential and confidence.
Jim Tosone
US Congress, District 5
Jim Tosone is the Libertarian Party candidate in New Jersey’s fifth Congressional District. A resident of Bergen County since 1980 and retired successful business executive, Tosone is running on a platform of liberty, prosperity, and peace. His focus will be on reducing federal spending so we can reduce taxes and begin paying down the debt.
Lana Leguia
US Congress, District 7
Lana Leguía is a 32 year old resident of Sussex County. A life love advocate of individual liberty, Lana currently is VP of Political Affairs for the New Jersey Libertarian Party, the chapter leader for Ladies of Liberty Alliance New Jersey, and volunteers with other grass roots efforts to bring Liberty to New Jersey. Lana ran for her local school board in 2023, receiving 46% of the vote.
Lana comes from a political family. She is the great great granddaughter of the former President of Peru, Augusto B. Leguía. Though Augusto B. and Lana have diametrically opposing philosophies and political goals, Lana hopes to continue the legacy of public service to her country and community.
Bruno Pereira
US Congress, District 9
Meet Bruno, a principled libertarian candidate running for office. With a steadfast belief in individual liberty and limited government intervention, Bruno champions policies that prioritize personal freedoms and free-market solutions. His platform focuses on reducing government bureaucracy, lowering taxes, and empowering individuals to make their own choices in both economic and social spheres.
Victor Kaplan
US Congress, District 12
Vic is running as the Peace Candidate. With almost all Democratic and Republican politicians agreeing on almost every domestic and foreign policy issue, Vic stands opposed to their unconstitutional and evil foreign policy positions.
