Franklin County needs energetic people to run for office! Libertarian elected officials get to make policy that reduces the scope of government and increases personal liberty.
We encourage first-timers to run for local offices in odd-numbered years.
Local offices include city and village council, township trustees, and school board members. With a term or two of local office, you will have the experience and credibility to run a successful campaign for county, state, or federal office, but if you have the qualifications to run for a different office, we won’t turn you down! Before starting your campaign, take a quick look at our “Candidate Quick Start Guide” video (21 minutes) and “How to Run for Local Election” step-by-step guide.

Join The Ohio Coalition to End Qualified Immunity for Ballot Board Hearing
Columbus, OH — December 4, 2024 — The Ohio Coalition to End Qualified Immunity, in collaboration with the Franklin County Libertarians, is urging Ohioans to pack the room at the Ohio Ballot Board hearing on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, at 10:30 AM. The hearing, taking place at the Grant Hearing Room in the Ohio Statehouse, will decide whether the proposed amendment to end qualified immunity can proceed as a single issue.
This crucial hearing could be a pivotal moment in Ohio’s push to end qualified immunity and hold law enforcement accountable. If approved, the coalition will work toward gathering approximately 420,000 valid signatures by July 2025 to place this historic amendment on the November 2025 ballot.
The initiative faces significant opposition, including hostile and biased remarks from Secretary of State Frank LaRose. His inflammatory statements against the coalition make it even more critical for supporters to show up and stand together.
“We need every voice in that room,” said a representative from The Ohio Coalition to End Qualified Immunity. “This is our opportunity to fight for accountability and ensure that the people of Ohio have their voices heard.”
Your presence at the hearing will make a real difference in advancing this important cause. Together, we can take the first step toward ending qualified immunity in Ohio and holding law enforcement accountable for their actions.
