Former Libertarian Gubernatorial Candidate Ken Krawchuk Elected State Party Chair
December 7, 2002
Ken Krawchuk, the Libertarian candidate for Pennsylvania Governor in 2002, was elected Chair of the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania at the bi-monthly meeting of the state party's board of directors on Saturday, replacing the outgoing Chair, John Storey of Lemoyne near Harrisburg. Storey reluctantly resigned as party Chair after he relocated to Tennessee for business reasons. Krawchuk will finish Storey's term which ends in April, and pledged to continue Storey's agenda of further professionalizing the Libertarian Party and increasing the number of elected Libertarians across Pennsylvania. 
"Under Mr. Storey's leadership, 2002 was a record-breaking year for the Pennsylvania Libertarian Party", Krawchuk said after his election as Chair. "But it's no time to rest on any laurels. Now we must build upon our successes, gear up for the local elections in 2003, and lay plans for the next round of major races in 2004. We have our work cut out for us." 
Some additional goals Krawchuk outlined for the state party include dramatically expanding fundraising activities, joining with other third parties to lobby for ballot access reform, improving party communications via the Internet, and increasing Libertarian influence in the Pennsylvania Primary elections. 
Founded in 1971, the Libertarian Party is the third largest political party in the state and the nation, with over 500 elected and appointed officials currently serving in office nationwide, and 71 in Pennsylvania, more than any other state except California. Like the Founding Fathers, Libertarians believe that you have a God-given, inalienable right to conduct your life as you see fit, without interference, so long as you respect the rights and property of others.
