As governor of New Mexico, Johnson increased the state budget by 75%.  That's pretty much the opposite of libertarian, no matter what party nominates him.

Are you sure? I don't remember that being his record. He vetoed most spending bills.

Much of the spending increase may have been through ineffectiveness rather than intent, but either way, his government grew, and as president, it's likely the same would have happened.
