[SCC] Q4 2026 Elections Officer Report

[Donald Dunn]

Elections Officer Report

As we approach the conclusion of the 2026 fall election cycle it has 
been very promising to see the effort from our candidates across the 
state. As we continue to attempt to create a stronger and consistent 
capture of a significant percentage of the vote (exceeding 5% 
regularly). The use of this year's unexpected jungle primary has played 
to both the strengths and weaknesses of the system. This will encourage 
voters to look beyond the party affiliation and hopefully create a 
greater chance of interaction for those who may be breaking rank with 
their registered party.

In our local and municipality level elections, our candidates have done 
a good job as well as efforts from the state party's media committee to 
produce recognition between the name, the face and the candidate. In the 
case of our candidates in Caddo whom we are joining today they have done 
an excellent job to cross endorse one another and create a stronger 
joint ticket particularly in Tony’s district where both will be on the 
ballot.

Data from our fall election cycle will be critical to further strategize 
the upcoming races in 2027 including Louisiana House and Senate. Should 
we choose to run a statewide candidate we will be able to better gauge 
the temperature based on the congressional candidates performance. As 
their districts largely overlap a large percentage of the registered 
libertarian base in the state.

Goals leading into the early portion of 2027 will be to identify and 
begin coordinating with potential statewide candidates to be able to 
start their campaigns as early as possible. This is with the intention 
to also begin working more closely down the ballot as we enter quarter 
two of 2027.

Thank You
