Frank Gilbert
Constable - elect of Big Rock Township which includes the city of Little Rock as well as rural areas south of the city. I was nominated by the Arkansas Libertarian Party and ran against a Republican candidate. Almost 75,000 votes were cast and I received more than 58%.
Joined the Libertarian Party in 1982, but backslid and joined the Republican Liberty Caucus of the GOP a decade later. Elected Coroner of Grant County as a Republican in 1992, serving one term.
By the turn of the century I was elected as an Independent candidate and served for eight years as Mayor of the Town of Tull
Arkansas Libertarians gained ballot access in 2012. In that year, I was the first Libertarian to ever hold office in the state, becoming the Constable of Dekalb Township in Grant County for a single term. In that same election I unsuccessfully ran for a State Senate seat. Since that time I’ve run unsuccessfully for Governor, U. S. Senate, U. S. Congress, and Lt. Governor (twice).
In 2022 my wife, Sharon and I moved to Little Rock and this year Thomas Turcol and I became the first Libertarians to win contested races in Arkansas.
