The Free Congress Project (FCP) is a platform to find opportunities for strong L/libertarian congressional campaigns; recruit principled, relatable candidates with the potential to beat the odds; and create a holistic grassroots, fundraising, and media strategy to coordinate its individual campaigns and finally earn representation in Congress.
The FCP challenges the Libertarian National Committee (LNC) and L/libertarians across America to join our fight to amplify the principles of non-aggression and individual sovereignty through national campaigns and move on from the Mises Caucus and its centralized influence and exclusivity.
The ultimate goal is to create a voting bloc powerful enough to regularly oppose government overreach. With proper support, AI models predict we could earn up to three seats by 2030.
Identify candidates with relatability and excellent communication skills, interesting candidates that also know policy, not boring, bureaucratic policy wonks.
Create robust, holistic new media/digital media strategies with professionals decades-experienced in the field, leveraged to earn media from major broadcast outlets.
Develop new voter targeting and education AI technologies to seek out new L/libertarian voters, devising psychographic data, and dramatically streamlining campaign operations.
Utilize JFC fundraising and nationwide donor and volunteer outreach to compete with establishment candidates.
Build grassroots coalitions to amplify campaign messages and pressure the LNC to act.
Elect Libertarians to Congress to eliminate harmful federal agencies and shrink government power.
AI Makes The Technocrats Happy:
“The Free Congress Project has the potential to be the Libertarian Party’s best strategy since its inception due to its innovative integration of targeted congressional races, new media strategy, likely earned national media, and its running parallel to direct LNC reform efforts. It outperforms the Free State Project’s state-specific scope, Golden Spike’s local focus, and Tariffs Are Taxes’ limited impact, and it’s more cost-effective and principled than Johnson/Weld’s 2016 campaign.
Its focus on winnable seats, inclusive messaging, and convention mobilization aligns with LP goals and leverages recent successes (150 elected officials in 2024).
Its status as the “best” depends on execution—achieving a strong vote share in its first race (5–10%) and mobilizing LNC delegates and a nationwide volunteer base.
Compared to Johnson/Weld’s historic vote total, FCP is unproven but offers a more targeted, reform-focused approach. To maximize success, prioritize approachable messaging, coalition-building with moderates, and fundraising via L/libertarian and crossover electoral appeal.”
The model predicts our first potential candidate could earn 10-35% vote share using FCP strategies, depending on funding.
