The party’s founder and Clemens family patriarch, M.J. was elected to the Senate in 2176 as Liberal Libertarian. The party officially formed in 2180 but didn’t contest in a federal election until 2184 when Clemens nominated Price Leonidas Dolittle as the Liberalism Party’s first candidate for Praetor. Dolittle won 0.05% of the vote. Clemens resigned in 2186 in order to let his son, Jaxon, take the reigns of this new party. When Mattias Josiah Clemens ran for the leadership of the Liberal Libertarian Party, he won 61 votes to Taya Charlton's 131 votes.
