Travis and the surrrounding counties consistently return the highest numbers of Libertarian votes in the state of Texas. It is vital to the future succes of our party (and all Liberty-minded people) that we educate our candidates and party leadership to be the best that they can be.

With that goal in mind, the Libertarian Party of Texas is partnering with the Libertarian Longhorns to present Robert Butler's complete series of political campaign workshops based on his book "18 Steps to Win a Local Election". One workshop will be presented on the first Tuesday of the month from September to May.

These workshops are provided free of charge for students and current monthly pledgers to the Libertarian Party of Texas. We ask all others to help defray our costs by making a contribution of at least $50 per workshop. No one will be turned away for failure to pay. Thank you!
