two jump the Top Two hurdle
by Alicia Mattson 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

I want to congratulate Jeff Hewitt and Mimi Robson (CA affiliate chair) for apparently making it past California's Top Two hurdle and into the general election for their respective races: Jeff Hewitt for Riverside County Supervisor District 5: https://www.voteinfo.net/Elections/20180605/eresults/Election%20Result.htm Mimi Robson for State Assembly District 70: https://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/state-assembly/district/70 All the precincts have reported the in-person votes from yesterday, but there will be more mail-in ballots and then provisional ballots to be counted before the results are final. It's likely that both will keep their standing in the final results, but we have to wait and see. There could be more success stories out there, but I was watching these two in particular. -Alicia I want to congratulate Jeff Hewitt and Mimi Robson (CA affiliate chair) for apparently making it past California's Top Two hurdle and into the general election for their respective races: Jeff Hewitt for Riverside County Supervisor District 5: [1]https://www.voteinfo.net/Elections/20180605/eresults/Election%20Resu lt.htm Mimi Robson for State Assembly District 70: [2]https://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/state-assembly/district/70 All the precincts have reported the in-person votes from yesterday, but there will be more mail-in ballots and then provisional ballots to be counted before the results are final.

requesting co-sponsors for policy clarification
by Alicia Mattson 11 Jun '18

11 Jun '18

During the April LNC meeting, some Awards Committee members indicated a desire to change award definitions to accommodate local candidates, not just state and federal candidates. I had proposed that we simply remove the "at the state or federal level" language from the existing award. The LNC instead opted to add a new Benjamin Franklin award which is solely for local candidates. When this new category, we should have also made another change to the following paragraph in Section 2.02.5 regarding the vote needed to select an award recipient: "With a majority vote the committee may select recipients of the Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, Thomas Paine, and Patrick Henry awards. While the committee has discretion as to the frequency of such convention awards, it is hoped that at least one recipient will be found worthy for each award at each regular convention. " This language does not include the newly-created Benjamin Franklin award. While RONR provides a default requirement of a majority vote when the organization's rules don't say otherwise, adding the new award to this section also makes it clear that the Awards Committee is the entity which chooses the award recipient. That's an important detail to have clarified. I am now requesting co-sponsors to amend Policy Manual Section 2.02.5 (in part) as follows: "With a majority vote the committee may select recipients of the Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, *Benjamin Franklin, *Thomas Paine, and Patrick Henry awards. While the committee has discretion as to the frequency of such convention awards, it is hoped that at least one recipient will be found worthy for each award at each regular convention. " Dr. Lark is awarded a brownie point for alerting me to this need for clarification of the policy. -Alicia During the April LNC meeting, some Awards Committee members indicated a desire to change award definitions to accommodate local candidates, not just state and federal candidates.

LP Press Coverage: 405 New Results
by Wes Benedict 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

The attached shows lots of press coverage for Libertarians. Every once in a while, Meltwater or other clipping services sign us up for free trials and start sending us daily emails with links to dozens of mentions of Libertarians, often with hundreds of thousands or millions of total "reach." Some services include TV and radio clips as well. Most of the mentions are because we have candidates. Without the candidates, Libertarian coverage in the press would drop dramatically. The more candidates we run, the more free publicity our candidates, party, and the word "libertarian" gets. If we stopped running candidates for governor, congress, and mayor of large cities, and focused primarily on non-partisan winnable races and tiny winnable partisan races, I think the Libertarian Party brand would shrink dramatically. It continues to be my preference and strategy that we maximize the number of candidates running both in "winnable" races, and races where winning the election is a long shot. Often, the claim that running too many candidates spreads our resources too thin. I understand the logic, but think it's incorrect. I think our state affiliates that run lots of any kind of candidate are our most active and successful, not just with candidates, but with other activities as well, such as promoting issues and other advocacy. Thanks, -- Wes Benedict, Executive Director Libertarian National Committee, Inc. 1444 Duke St., Alexandria, VA 22314 (202) 333-0008 ext. 232, wes.benedict(a)lp.org facebook.com/libertarians @LPNational Join the Libertarian Party at: http://lp.org/membership

Libertarian election results from 2017 back to 2002
by Wes Benedict 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

LNC: I'm sending this spreadsheet that lists most Libertarian candidates and election results going back to 2002, although for 2002 and 2004, only Congress is listed. The spreadsheet had been posted on LP.org, but we haven't posted this updated version lately. I'm sending in case you are interested, or in case someone is interested in performing some type of analysis. Pay close attention to the warning notes on the first tab. Thanks, -- Wes Benedict, Executive Director Libertarian National Committee, Inc. 1444 Duke St., Alexandria, VA 22314 (202) 333-0008 ext. 232, wes.benedict(a)lp.org facebook.com/libertarians @LPNational Join the Libertarian Party at: http://lp.org/membership
