Libertarian Party Finding Strong Support in Travis County

Libertarians in Texas want voters to know, there's a third option out there.

"It's really time for voters to step outside the box," Arthur DiBianca, Travis County Libertarian Party treasurer, said. "If you keep voting Democrat and Republican, you're going to keep the same stuff we've been getting for decades."

And in Travis County, voters will see a lot of Libertarians on the ballot this year.

"We have 37 candidates this year, which is a record for us," DiBianca said.

The Austin area in particular has racked up its Libertarian base.

"We believe it's also the most Libertarian candidates on the ballot in any county in America this year, so we're excited about that too, TCLPs treasurer said.

The party's platform has a mix of ideologies, promoting both fiscal responsibility and social tolerance.

"I would say the biggest thing that we're commonly looking at is trying to get away from an overreach of government, overreach of corporatism and things like that, Libertarian House District 46 candidate Kevin Ludlow said. "I don't have any loyalty to either of the two parties so I think what I'm finding is people generally believe me when I say If I were elected, I absolutely would push forward with legislation on these things."

In Texas, a Libertarian has never held statewide office, but they do see the 2012 election as a success for them. Five of their candidates were able to each garner over 1 million votes.
