Yes, you can. It’s not easy, but very possible. In affiliated counties, the responsibility of signing off on candidates for the party falls to the county chairman. If you live in an unaffiliated county and want to run for county or local office, the LPIN State Chairman and Secretary must sign off on your paperwork. The key is to allow enough time to file your paperwork. Contact your Regional representative, Jeff Duensing, 219-226-3400 or Chris Spangle at LPIN HQ at 317-920-1994 or by email at cspangle@lpin.org.
