When asked to comment about the current slate of Libertarian candidates running for office in Colorado, Michael McKinzie issued this statement:

"The LPCO is attracting serious, viable candidates for public office. The LPCO Campaigns team is building an efficient structure to assist our candidates in their campaigns. As the Libertarian Party grows in size, we will eclipse all other third parties in efficiency and voter totals."

The Libertarian Party of Colorado is proud to announce this slate of candidates. As the fastest growing "third party" in U.S., the Libertarian party is dedicated to offering the voters of Colorado real choices besides the candidates of the two "major" parties.

The Libertarian Party is the only party offering Colorado the chance to vote for smaller government and more personal responsibility. It is the only party that is offering real choices for voters in the state of Colorado.

...In Liberty,
