At the below link there is also a list of all elected officials from the party. I only noticed one who was in a position at state level or above; Richard Sanders, State Supreme Court, Washington. It is possible that I overlooked someone since I read each individual listing of the 153 mentioned below. Based on that I have concluded that there are no current Libertarian Party members in Congress, although there are probably a few who represent something close to a libertarian philosophy but are endorsed by another party.
"Elected Officials
Nationwide, there are 153 Libertarians holding elected office: 38 of them partisan offices, and 115 of them non-partisan offices. If you know of an elected Libertarian who is not on this list, please notify us at info@lp.org.
General criteria: For partisan offices, the elected official must have appeared on the ballot with the party designation "Libertarian" -or- the elected official must currently be registered to vote as a Libertarian. For non-partisan offices, the elected official must be a current or former dues-paying member of the Libertarian Party."

What are the policies of the Libertarian Party?
In short, Libertarians believe the government should never violate an individuals rights (socially liberal), and should be extremely limited its power, especially in regards to the economy (economically conservative).Carried forward, Libertarians generally support gay rights, a woman's right to choose ("pro-choice"), and an individuals privacy (opposed to the Patriot Act, and to a degree also opposed to the CIA). Anything that expands the individuals' rights, Libertarians support.Economically, Libertarians generally believe that Capitalism should be unregulated. There are some blatant problems with monopoly and scams (i.e. Ponzi schemes), and a certain number of Libertarians believe there ought to be some regulation.In a similar vein, Libertarians generally are opposed to the power of the monopoly called government. As a political philosophy, Libertarians believe the government should exist only to protect the liberties of its citizens. A strong military is acceptable, but Libertarians favor the philosophy of the founding fathers - nonintervention.These "policies" are only as I understand them, and should not be taken as representative of all Libertarians.
