On whether he is a libertarian like his character Ron Swanson, Offerman has stated, "While I admire the philosophy of the libertarian mindset, I think it's proven to be ineffectual in actual governance. So no, I'm not. I'm a free-thinking American." Upon voting in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries in his home state of California, Offerman tweeted a photo of himself with an "I Voted" sticker, adding the caption ""#VoteWarren"", referring to the Democratic Senator from Massachusetts and then-presidential candidate, Elizabeth Warren. In June 2020, he tweeted his support for Charles Booker, a progressive Democratic candidate in the U.S. Senate Democratic primary in Kentucky.
