Speaking as someone who has actually run for re-election, there seems to be less urgency to give to Senator Ebke at this time. Her election is over a year away, and I'd hope her budget isn't greatly affected by the amount proposed being given at a time when we can establish some objective criteria for considering such requests.I wholeheartedly support that we give funds to candidates where we find that we'll have a significant impact on the outcome of the race or get a "win" for the LP. I think supporting our elected Libertarians in this manner is a terrific use of donor funds, and I look forward to considering this one we have established criteria for such requests.Brett C.

Wes, I think you are correct.
But I don't think I see the LNC ever voting for a "top choice" race- I think that would cause a lot of resentments in states and be demotivating to other affiliates and candidates.

Brett, I have the same concerns that we do not have a process. But I also do not want to avoid supporting candidates until we do, particularly current office holders.

IIRC, the proponents of giving the Wicks campaign the money authorized by this committee indicated that we would have some parameters/guidelines/process for future giving as a result of the funds disbursed in short order for the social election. I have not seen such a plan or discussion for such a plan.
Until such a time as we define those, I am unwilling to cosponsor any motion regarding or support giving funds to any candidate.

Perhaps someone should determine whether that level of contribution will result in the LNC having to file reports in Nebraska.

Colleagues:
I have seen that Sen. Laura Ebke in Nebraska has started fundraising. I am seeking cosponors for the following motion:
Donate $5,000 to the Laura Ebke re-election campaign.
I was unable to find any FEC reason we cannot donate (and we've donated to state rep campaigns before). Nebraska seems not to have a donation limit, even for out of state money, so we should be fine there. I am not aware, therefore, of any legal issues, but please speak up if I have missed anything.
