Unlike Democrats and Republicans, the Libertarian Party does not bind its national convention delegates to the winners of primaries and caucuses. Delegates are free to vote for anyone they choose at the party’s presidential nominating convention in Austin, Texas in May.

That is unlikely to take the shine off of LP presidential candidate Jacob Hornberger's showing in the Iowa Libertarian Party caucuses: Of 282 votes cast in the party’s caucus on Saturday, February 8, the final votes were:

Hornberger is a long-time libertarian activist and author who serves as president of The Future of Freedom Foundation, an educational foundation whose mission is to present the principled case for the libertarian philosophy. He declared his candidacy last November at the South Carolina Libertarian Party convention.

“I am honored and grateful to Iowa Libertarians for their big vote of confidence. I will do everything I can to merit it in the weeks ahead as we head toward the national nominating convention,“ said Hornberger. who resides in Virginia. “I am also grateful for my great campaign team, which deserves a lot of the credit for this win.

Hornberger added, “Both Democrats and Republicans are leading our nation in a very bad direction—one that leads toward more socialism and regulation at home and more foreign interventionism abroad. We Libertarians want to take America in a different and better direction — one that leads toward liberty, peace, prosperity, and harmony with the people of the world. We are asking our fellow Americans to join us in this endeavor.”

Founded in 1971, the Libertarian Party is the nation’s third largest political party and will be on the ballot in most, if not all, of the 50 states.
