Maine Legislator John Andrews Joins Libertarian Party

On December 14, Maine state representative John Andrews changed his voter registration from Republican to Libertarian.  He represents part of Oxford County and lives in the county seat, Paris.  He was first elected to the legislature in 2018, and was re-elected last month.

The Maine Libertarian Party is not now ballot-qualified, but Maine residents are permitted to register into the Libertarian Party because it has filed paperwork showing that it is intending to qualify.  Also the party has a lawsuit in U.S. District Court to regain its qualified status, which for a newly-qualifying party, requires 5,000 registered members by January 2022.

Maine Legislator John Andrews Joins Libertarian Party — 6 Comments

  1. He quit in a huff over his committee assignments, not about any Libertarian principles (considering he’s a far-right-winger, so we Libertarians may not want to claim him!

  2. @ Anastasia Beaverhausen… agreed. His social media posts make him questionable at best.

    BTW please don’t use far-right when you mean authoritarian. Right v Left should only do with economics not social issues. Using right v left for both axises makes things abundantly confusing. Historically the right has been the more authoritarian party so “right” has overtime been conflated with authoritarian but US libertarians are far-right (economically) and liberal (used in the proper original context).

  3. You are making no sense. Liberals are leftist aka socialist, communist, democrat or anarchist. Rightist are also known as conservative, libertarian, tea party, Republican or MAGAs. Stop trying to confuse people. Libertarians are conservative not liberal. And btw it is the leftist who are authoritarian or totalitarian. As in politically correct trying to control thoughts, try to take away our freedom of religion and gun rights, red tape and regulations and high taxes and quotas and kissing up to commie and Islamic dictators. They are even fighting a war against Christmas. Shame.

  4. Also the leftist communist are trying to defund to take away our freedom to be safe for criminals and to open the border so we can be invaded by an army of illegals. Plus they want to disarm the military and have us taken over by extreme totalitarian foreign dictators.
