Timothy Perkins is a member of the Libertarian Party of Oregon, and has previously served three consecutive terms on the LPO Board of Directors from 2017-2023.
Involvement with the Libertarian Party
Joining the LP
In 2016 Timothy switched his Oregon voter party registration from Unaffiliated to Libertarian, having never previously been registered as a member of a political party. Timothy attended the 2016 Libertarian Party Convention in Orlando, Florida (sitting with the Libertarian Party of California delegation, as the Libertarian Party of Oregon sent no delegation) and shortly thereafter began regularly attending Libertarian Party of Oregon state party board meetings.
Stepping up
In time Timothy volunteered and rebuilt the state party website and ran for the 2017-2019 LPO Board of Directors, to which he was elected and began serving at the 2017 Libertarian Party of Oregon convention in Portland, Oregon.
Leadership roles
At the 2017 Libertarian Party of Oregon convention, Timothy was selected by his fellow board members to serve as Vice-Chair of the LPO Board of Directors. In the 2017-2019 term, he served as chair of several subcommittees of the state party board and was the lead writer/developer of the LPO's Policy on Affiliated Organizations, paving the way for county parties to be formed in Oregon.
In 2018, Timothy attended his second National Libertarian Party convention in New Orleans, Louisiana. This Oregon delegation was comprised of members from both sides in Oregon's factional dispute, which was referred to by Timothy on the convention stage as "the New Orleans Miracle." Timothy assisted the Secretary as a teller.
In 2019, Timothy ran for the LPO Board of Directors a second time, to which he was elected. At the 2019 Libertarian Party of Oregon convention, his fellow board members selected him to serve as Chair of the LPO Board of Directors.
In 2020, Timothy attended his third National Libertarian Party convention in Orlando, Florida. Timothy again assisted the Secretary as a teller.
In 2021, Timothy ran for the LPO Board of Directors a third time, to which he was elected. At the 2021 Libertarian Party of Oregon convention, his fellow board members selected him to serve a second term as Chair of the LPO Board of Directors.
In 2022, Timothy attended his fourth National Libertarian Party convention in Reno, Nevada. Timothy served as the delegation chair for the Oregon delegation.
In 2024, Timothy attended his fifth National Libertarian Party convention in Washington, D.C.
Personal Life
Timothy grew up as the oldest of 7 siblings, all homeschooled "from birth through high school." His scholastic interests in high school leaned heavily political, though he did well in other subjects.
Timothy married his wife, Gillian, in 2012 without obtaining a state marriage license (they registered a common law marriage in Montana in 2018). They are homeschooling their five children.
