| Collapse all
As a Presidential candidate in 2016, he had a goal to run the most libertarian presidential campaign in history, to promote the ideas of liberty as boldly and as often as possible, and to give as many people as possible the chance to vote for an actual libertarian in November 2016. After the Libertarian National Convention - where he placed 4th for the LP Presidential nomination - Perry formed a crowd-funded public-interest lobbyist firm, to lobby the New Hampshire Legislature in support of individual rights, minimal government and maximum freedom!
Darryl served as Chair of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire from September 2016 until April 2018.
He ran the 2018 NYC Marathon on Team Innocence Project, and was to be a charity runner for Ronald McDonald's House Charities in the 2019 Chicago Marathon before being forced to withdraw in order to recover from a concussion.
Darryl W. Perry is running for Governor of New Hampshire as a Libertarian on a platform of criminal justice reform, lower taxation, and ballot access reform & voting rights.- Criminal Justice Reform
- Lower Taxation
- Reform Ballot Access Laws and Protect Voting Rights
The Drug War is just one part of the Criminal Justice System that is in need of reform. The current system is punitive and relies heavily on plea bargains. NHPR reports "something like 98 percent of convictions are obtained through plea bargains." In many criminal cases where a defendant refuses a plea, they generally receive a stiffer sentence than they were offered prior to trial. Additionally nearly 1 in 5 people who plead guilty are actually innocent. There's also the problem of laws that criminalize consensual behavior (gambling, polygamy, sex work, etc).
Ballot Access & Voting Rights
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
