Mises Caucus

The Libertarian Party Mises Caucus (LPMC) is a caucus within the Libertarian Party in the United States that promotes paleolibertarianism, as well as a more radical version of American libertarianism associated with the presidential campaigns of former U.S. congressman Ron Paul. It was founded in 2017 by Michael Heise, mainly in opposition to Nicholas Sarwark's position as party chairman and the pragmatic faction of the party associated with the presidential campaigns of former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson. It is named after economist Ludwig von Mises.

The caucus has support of some prominent libertarians, such as comedian Dave Smith, political commentator Tom Woods, and radio host Scott Horton. Ron Paul once called the caucus "the libertarian wing of the Libertarian Party." The caucus has also been highly controversial, and has been accused of their critics of harboring bigotry or being plants of the Republican Party, which the Mises Caucus denies.

The Mises Caucus has shifted the Libertarian Party further toward the right ever since their party’s national convention in May 2022. As of 2022, the Mises Caucus is the largest caucus of the Libertarian Party, and controls all leadership positions on the Libertarian National Committee as well as 37 state affiliates.
