Lea MacBride (August 6, 1929 –

March 5, 1995) was an American lawyer, political figure, writer, and television producer. He

was the presidential nominee

of the Libertarian MacBride became the first presidential elector in

U.S. history to cast a vote for a woman when, in the presidential election of 1972, he voted for the Libertarian

Party candidates John Hospers for

president and Theodora He

was co-creator and co-producer of the television series Little House

on the Prairie. MacBride

was born in 1929 in New Rochelle, New York,

the son of Elise Fairfax (Lea) and William Burt MacBride, an editor. He called

himself "the adopted grandson" of a family friend, writer, and political theorist Rose Wilder Lane, whom he met for the first time when he

was 14 years of age. Lane – the daughter of writer Laura Ingalls Wilder, who

was noted for writing the Little House series of books – designated MacBride as a

"political disciple," as well as her executor and

sole heir. MacBride was a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School.

MacBride worked for the Wall Street-based law firm White & Case for several years before opening a small

practice in Vermont. By the mid-1970s, MacBride had relocated to Virginia and was no longer practicing law full-time. MacBride

inherited Lane's estate including rights to the estate, including

the "Little House on the

Prairie" franchise. He is the author of record of three

additional "Little House" books, and began the "Rocky Ridge

Years" series of children's novels,

describing Lane's Ozark childhood. He

published two books on constitutional law – The

American Electoral College and Treaties versus the

Constitution, as well as a Libertarian Party manifesto – A New Dawn for America: The

Libertarian Challenge. In

the 1970s, MacBride co-created the television series Little House on

the Prairie and served as a co-producer for the show. acBride was

elected to the Vermont House of

Representatives in 1962 and served one term. While in the state

legislature he proposed the abolition of the state college system. Running

as an unsuccessful offer for the Republican Party nomination

for Governor of Vermont in

1964. MacBride was the treasurer of the Republican Party of

Virginia in 1972 and one of the party's electors when Richard Nixon won the popular vote for his second term as

President of the United States. MacBride, however, as a "faithless elector," voted for the nominees of the

Libertarian Party – presidential candidate John Hospers and vice-presidential candidate Tonie Nathan. In doing so, MacBride made Nathan the first

woman in U.S. history to receive an electoral vote. Political pundit David Boaz later commented in Liberty magazine that MacBride was "faithless to

Nixon and Agnew, anyway, but

faithful to Wilder Lane had instilled in him." After casting his electoral vote

in 1972, MacBride instantly gained favor within the fledgling Libertarian

Party, which had only begun the previous year. As the Libertarian

presidential nominee in 1976,[2] he achieved ballot access in 32 states; he and

his running mate, David Bergland, received 172,553 (0.2%) popular votes by

official count, and no electoral

votes. His best performance was in Alaska, where he received 6,785 votes, or nearly 5.5%. In

his campaign the issues that he supported included a free market system, a return to the gold standard, the abolition of the Federal Reserve, an end to corporate welfare, the abolition of the FCC, a foreign policy of non-interventionism, and

abolishing all victimless crimes. MacBride rejoined the Republican Party in the

1980s and helped establish the Republican Liberty Caucus,

a group the Republican Party.[7][21] He chaired this group from 1992 until his

death in 1995.
