Jul 6 2006

This November, 33 of the 100 U.S. Senate seats will be up for election. Although media attention focuses on Democratic and Republican candidates, who are leading in the polls by considerable margins, the effects of the Libertarian Party--the largest third party in the United States--should not be discounted. This is, to the best of my knowledge, a complete list of Libertarian U.S. Senate candidates for 2006. If you've noticed any errors or omissions, please drop me a line and I will correct the list as soon as possible.

Over the coming weeks, I will be featuring clickable profiles of the more high-profile Libertarian Senate candidates. Be sure to bookmark this page, and check back often for the latest on the Libertarian Party's efforts!
