Libertarian Party of Arkansas


The Libertarian Party of Arkansas is the Arkansas affiliate of the national Libertarian Party. In the 2010s the party saw increased support in federal races due to a lack of Democratic candidates contesting those races.

History

In 2002 members of the party petitioned to place Amendment 3, a ballot initiative that would have eliminated taxes on food and medicine, but it was overwhelming rejected by 61% to 39%. However, the sales tax on food was later phased out through the passage of a bill following the amendment's defeat.
