Request the Resignation of Angela McArdle as National Chair of the Libertarian Party


Request the Resignation of Angela McArdle as National Chair of the Libertarian Party
The Issue
Angela McArdle, the current National Chair of the Libertarian Party, has recently been implicated in actions that contradict the party's core principles and bylaws. She openly supported opposing candidates, including Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump. This act has created confusion and discord within the party, as the leadership's actions do not reflect the party's foundation and ideologies. Therefore, we are calling for relief from this confusion by asking Angela McArdle to resign as the National Chair of the Libertarian Party. This action will demonstrate respect for the Party's values, commitment to maintaining trust among its members, and a prioritization of party cohesion over individual inclination.
In May 2024, the delegation of the Libertarian National Convention nominated the presidential ticket of Chase Oliver and Mike ter Maat. Instead of supporting the ticket that was nominated, McArdle and four other members of the Libertarian Executive Committee went behind the back of the party to create a Joint Funding Agreement with the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. presidential campaign, and even made an “endorsement” video for Chase to support him only in Blue States to have Trump re-elected as President so “a Libertarian can be put in Trump’s cabinet.”
The Kennedy JFA has been opposed by numerous Libertarian state affiliates (including Texas, McArdle’s state of residency), and she has been censured by those same state affiliates.
Through her social media, she has openly supported Republican candidates, despite being the National Chair of the Libertarian Party.
Please join us in ensuring that our party leadership maintains its impartiality and respect for party guidelines. Sign this petition to promote integrity within the Libertarian Party.
