Re: [Lnc-business] Seeking cosponsors - candidate support
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.

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.
