Presidential Campaign

In 2016 Darryl W. Perry was one of 5 Presidential candidates to take part in the final LP Presidential Debate at the LNC Convention in Orlando Florida, alongside Gary Johnson, Austin Petersen, John McAfee and the late Dr. Marc Allan Feldman with nomination speeches given by Kim Ruff and Caryn Ann Willis. His running mate was Will Coley. Perry received the third most pre-debate tokens, and finished 4th on both ballots to determine the LP Presidential nominee. Perry won his home state of NH on the first ballot, and finished second on the second ballot. He came in second in Pennsylvania, Colorado, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oklahoma & Wyoming on both ballots. Prior to the convention, Perry easily won the Louisiana Straw Poll, becoming the only candidate other than Gary Johnson to win a State Convention Straw Poll during the 2016 campaign season.
His campaign was distinguished by the fact that Perry refused to file with the FEC, and in a letter to the FEC stated he would not comply with their regulations. He went as far as to only accept campaign contributions in the form of alternative currencies, primarily Bitcoin.

He stated that he embarked on his campaign "with three goals in mind: 1) to run the most libertarian presidential campaign in history; 2) to proclaim the ideas of liberty as boldly and as often as possible; and 3) to give as many people as possible the opportunity to vote for an actual libertarian in November."

Professional Lobbyist

After the LP Convention in Orlando, Perry formed New Hampshire Libertas, "as a one-man operation in New Hampshire as a beta test to efficacy of crowd-funding our own lobbyists." The mission of New Hampshire Libertas is to advocate for minimal government and maximum human freedom by weighing all legislation against the litmus of our principles and responding accordingly by testifying on the Statehouse floor, holding court with individual legislators, and crafting liberty-minded legislation. After the first full session of lobbying activities, New Hampshire Libertas was able to boast nearly 2 dozen legislative successes, including passage of HB301 which deregulated electric grills & HB436 "Exempting persons using virtual currency from registering as money transmitters.".
