RALEIGH (April 10, 2025)—Delegates at the Wake County Libertarian Party’s annual convention unanimously elected former party treasurer Brad Hessel as chair last night.

Hessel, who served as treasurer from 2013 to 2021, highlighted the growth of the county party in the last 12 years:

“In 2012, virtually no one here even knew there was a county Libertarian party…now, Wake voters expect to see our candidates on their ballots and our distinctive ‘People. not Politics.’ yard signs adorning the streets…and elected and non-elected officials alike know who we are and take our calls,” Hessel stated. 

Join us for our 2025 annual convention, and enjoy delicious snack food gratis with us. We will take care of some party business, including the election of our next Executive Committee team. You will be able to vote if you are a delegate. Help us shape the future of Wake County.

RALEIGH (November 6, 2024)—Attendees at the WakeLP election watch party at Tobacco Road last night had a lot to celebrate. Libertarian candidates up and down the ballot garnered record-breaking vote totals, and when the numbers finally stopped spinning, the collective total stood at an all-time record 321,154 votes in 2024.
