Walker has been the Libertarian Party's candidate for statewide public office on three separate occasions.

In the course of these campaigns he has participated in numerous debates, including those televised statewide, has appeared on scores of radio talk shows, and has spoken to many audiences, large and small.

The first statewide race was for lieutenant governor in 1990 -- the first statewide race in which the Libertarian Party had a significant impact despite its being barred from televised debates by the Democrat- controlled public television system working in conjuction with the Atlanta Journal Constitution. His running mate was Carol Ann Rand.

In 1994, for strategic reasons, the Libertarian Party did not run a gubernatorial candidate and so Walker was at the head of the ticket, running once again for lieutenant governor.

In 1998, Walker was selected to run for Georgia attorney general and once again campaigned on a statewide basis.

Because of his Supreme Court victory, Walker was a speaker at the 1998 national convention of the Libertarian Party in Washington, D.C. (Read his stirring speech.)

Walker has fought Georgia's restrictive ballot-access laws on several occasions, most notably in the case of Bergland vs. Harris, 767 F.2d 1551 (11th Cir. 1985) -- following which Georgia lowered its ballot-acces requirements, but which still remain the most punitive and anti-democratic in the country.

The Libertarian Party stands for individual rights and limited government. Check out the sites at http://www.lp.org and http://www.ga.lp.org and other such liberty-oriented places on the Web.
