Rhode Island Libertarian Party Will Run Gubernatorial Candidate for the First Time Since 1976

On April 24, the Rhode Island Libertarian Party held its state convention and nominated Joel Hellmann for Governor. Although the Libertarian Party has been on the ballot in every state’s gubernatorial election at least once, the Rhode Island Libertarian Party had not run anyone for Governor since 1976.

The Libertarian Party has never been a qualified party in Rhode Island. It will need 1,000 signatures to place Hellman on the ballot. If he should receive 5%, the party would become qualified for the first time. Hellmann was the Moderate Party’s candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 2018, and he polled 11,332 votes, 3.12%.
