About
Amanda Griffiths is a member of the Libertarian Party Radical Caucus, editor of The Torch, and serves on LPAlliance’s Admin, media, and communications teams. She frequently publishes and speaks on contemporary politics and movement mobilization strategies, ideology, worker empowerment and the labor movement, and Machiavelli’s political thought, which she studies as a PhD candidate (under duress) in political theory.
She is also a contributor to the media network Young Voices and the creator of AGitPop: In Offense of Marxism, a parody album about the Russian Revolution. Ex-LNC Chair Angela McArdle has described her as “a political 4, at best.”
Amanda studied acting, political science, and Italian at the University of Southern California, where she helped organize and stage a successful coup of the university’s College Republicans chapter as a freshman. She received her M.A. from the University of Chicago and is currently working to break out of academia into journalism. Amanda formally joined the Libertarian Party while working as editorial director for the Cato Institute’s Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives.
A firm believer in popular mobilization and direct action, Amanda became active in the Party after critiquing the McArdle LNC’s “kingmaker” approach and developing an alternative framework for coalition-building and Party strategy.
An advocate for radical grassroots activism techniques, Amanda envisions a more powerful, overt role for the Libertarian Party in politics and society—a role that campaigns for not merely candidates, but causes—and believes in broadening the Party’s intellectual, activist, and outreach networks by aligning with other actors and organizations within the liberty movement nationally as well as globally.
About
“She who writes best wins.” ~Sarah Bella
Sarah Bella is a Granite Stater originally from the Boston area who holds her state motto Live Free or Die in the highest regard. She earned a B.S. in marketing with a minor in communications from Southern New Hampshire University which she attended while fighting cancer. She has resided in many other amazing places, but she left her heart in San Francisco.
With a rogueish attitude and decades of freelance journalism and campaign experience, Sarah’s political writings focus on policy analysis, public relations, psychology, and campaign strategy. She also writes about mental and sexual health, consent and boundaries, gender, ethical philosophy, science, pop culture, and more, often blending them into holistic tapestries that present unique perspectives.
Sarah first got involved with politics in 1991 when she was just 12 years old. Starting as a neighborhood canvasser, she eventually went on to become an organizer for numerous Democrat campaigns in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Orange County, CA.
She was always a small-l libertarian but became a big-L Libertarian and supported Ron Paul in 2009 after the bank and auto industry bailouts in response to the economic crash. She also stumped online for Gary Johnson as editor of Orange Juice, a non-partisan political blog.
Sarah thought she was retired from politics from 2014 until 2024 when she returned to the fray to oppose Project 2025.
In response to the Democrats’ lack of a cohesive alternative media strategy to counter the GOP, Sarah returned to the Libertarian Party and created Live Free & Prosper, an organization dedicated to ethical L/libertarian media activist education and training.
She is a libertarian market socialist promoting bottom-up free enterprise capitalism that meets our human needs, protects the environment, and prioritizes individual rights such as bodily autonomy, property, and privacy.
If you debate her, you’d better bring your A-game.
About
Nanoscientist/chemist/biochemist from Appalachia finishing my PhD in 2025. I’m a small (l) libertarian tired of an ineffective libertarian party, who wants a positive cultural change towards collaboration and intraparty respect between members. Radically optimistic towards human liberation.
Willing to argue respectfully with just about any person you find vile, not to platform bad ideas, but to show the better ideas more clearly in contrast.
Interested in the biochemistry of multigenerational trauma, and how liberty with prosperity can help break cycles within communities.
About
I’m Tom Rowlette, long time Libertarian.
My first Presidential vote was for Badnarik, and I’ve been a consistent Libertarian voter since then. I’ve worn several hats in local and state LPs.
I’m currently on the Executive Committee of the LP of Missouri, and I’m the Secretary of the LP of St. Louis City. Last year I was also on the bylaws and rules committee for the national LP.
I’m not a registered parliamentarian, but I know Robert’s Rules very well. Grand Rapids will be my sixth convention.
In general I avoid intra-party conflict and when Libertarians have disagreements I try to get them to play nicely with each other.
I’m team Libertarian Party first. That means that although I think that Heise and his buddies should never again be allowed near LP leadership positions, I would collect signatures to get any of them on the ballot to challenge a Democrat or Republican.
About
My name is Jake Leonard and being a Libertarian has been the only thing I’ve ever known. Despite coming from pro-union Democratic parents, my deviation from those views began well before joining the Libertarian Party in practice in 2012.
I hail from the Land of Lincoln, Illinois, better known as “where the governors make the license plates,” in which there have been four: Otto Kerner, Dan Walker, George Ryan, and Rod Blagojevich (and coming soon to a federal prison near you: Bruce Rauner and J.B. Pritzker).

About
I’m J.P. (Jay) Gillotte. long-time Libertarian and lifetime state and national member. In the early 1970’s – at only 15 years old – I found the principles of libertarianism through Ayn Rand. By 16 I had read all of her novels and tracts including The Virtue of Selfishness and Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal. I became an Objectivist and committed myself to the principles of individual liberty thereafter.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and Business Administration from Hillsdale College in Michigan. I then attended Stetson College of Law in Florida but left after my second year because I felt there was no more hope for the system.
I moved back to Michigan at 27 and founded Presort Services, Inc. The company was dedicated to saving our clients money by providing them discounted postage rates. It satisfied one of my libertarian impulses.
Over the course of my life, few have met me without learning I’m a big-L Libertarian. It just kind of leeches out of me. I joined the Libertarian Party in 1974 and have – with the one regrettable exception of Ronald Reagan – voted for every Libertarian on the ballot every election.
I’ve served as Chair and Treasurer of the West Michigan affiliate of the Libertarian Party of Michigan and District Representative to the state board. I have run for office numerous times as a Libertarian as a member of the LP Radical Caucus.
As a member of the Libertarian Party of Michigan I’ve seen first hand the damage done when a single caucus takes control of a party for the purpose of installing policies and values that don’t represent the broad principles of most Libertarian Party members.
I joined the LP Alliance in order to support the movement to bring our party back to a place of balance, mutual respect, and a recognition that our party Is much stronger when Libertarians of all stripes and convictions are willing to work together for the goal of liberty in our lifetime.
Thank you to those who supported me for a seat on this Board of Directors of the LPA. I hope my decades long experience brings another perspective that’s seasoned but not stale. I work to always be principled, but never pedantic.
