Update from the Political Division
by Jake Leonard 22 Jul '21

22 Jul '21

All, Candidate Recruitment Director Kevin Kauzlaric has notified me via Facebook Messenger that he will need to resign. He attributes the resignation to life being too busy to carry out volunteer tasks, combined with two jobs and then family work. While he would like to remain, the past couple months have just been chaotic. He will help train his successor, and I will help do my part as well. Kevin's expertise has been more than valuable. Kevin stuck around back when Kyle Symons was Political Director and due to scheduling conflicts, it was essentially myself and Kevin, who was serving as Campaigns Director at the time. His dedication carried over to my leading the Political Division, and his dedication paid off as I made him my successor as Candidate Recruitment Director (CRD) as I made the step upward. His knowledge, guidance and advice has helped many candidates that he or I will admit, and I am sad to see him step down. His resignation will become effective as of 11:59:59 p.m. on Saturday, July 31. This means we will have a vacancy of a crucial role within the division and should be filled ASAP. If you are interested in assisting candidates in preparation for our upcoming election cycles, please contact me at political(a)lpillinois.org <mailto:political@lpillinois.org> . Beginning August 1, I will be handling recruitment matters until a new CRD is appointed. If you have the opportunity, please don't hesitate to thank Kevin for his relentless work in the Political Division and for this party. But from me personally, Kevin, thank you for all that you've done for the Political Division and for the Libertarian Party of Illinois. If things ever ease up in the future, I would - without hesitation - always welcome you back to the Division in any capacity. You are a credit to this Division and to this Party, and the next CRD has some mighty big shoes to fill.

Executive Director Report - July 2021
by executivedirector＠lpillinois.org 20 Jul '21

20 Jul '21

Team - If you are not a recurring monthly donor to the LP Illinois, please visit www.lpillinois.org/donate to set. If you cannot donate monthly, please consider a one-time donation. Also, please become a Precinct Committeeperson if you are not already one by visiting www.lpillinois.org/precinct-committeemen/. Also, if you plan to attend the convention, please get your package as soon as you can at https://lpillinois.org/2021-state-convention/. For the month of June, I pitched to 57 individuals for a total of $2026 in pledges, including 1 lifetime membership from Mr. Michale Milke, founder of the Noble Charter School network. Hoping to further facilitate this relationship, as he was active on the Joshua Flynn campaign and semi-regular attendee at LPC events. I attended several LP meetings, including with the LP Chicago and Cook County Libertarian Central Committee, as well as attended a couple of Pride events in Chicago distributing Libertarian materials. Also attended meetings of America's Future. I am in contact with Rep. Lauren Underwood's about meeting with Libertarian constituents. Thank you chapters in or near her district for helping organize. On August 1st, in conjunction with the Political Division, I will be organizing a Metro East Chapter formation call on the UberConference line. I have been able to follow through with LNC contacts because of recent shenanigans but hope to reconnect when the dust settles. I am loving the new CRM but I hope to learn to better navigate it and learn more about it, including posting events. I am also available to join any LP meeting in the state, virtually or in-person if possible. Please reach out. Best, Justin Tucker

Proposed agenda item for 7/20/21
by Russ Clark 19 Jul '21

19 Jul '21

To all: I would propose the Libertarian Party of Illinois authorize a separate account for donations specifically for Illinois races. As you may be aware, we currently file with the FEC on all of our existing donations. This makes these funds eligible for Federal as well as state races. The mainline parties also maintain a separate account for state races. Donations into this separate account would be filed with the Illinois State Board of Elections and would be eligible for only for state and local races. This would increase our maximum contribution limit from $10,000 from any specific individual to $22,000 as $10,000 would be contributed to our Federal account and $12,000 to our state account. This account may accept donations directly from corporations and unions as this is prohibited under Federal law. It also would allow donors to specify if their donation goes to Federal or state accounts. This creates some work for treasurers going forward BUT there is a benefit if we can begin to get donors to maximize contributions to our party for ballot access or candidate assistance. As our party continues to grow, we do have information from large donors who could afford to donate such a large sum to the party. I would propose that unless otherwise specified, any general donations from individuals are designated as Federal donations. This allows the maximum flexibility for the funds and requires no additional work. Funds for state accounts would either be designated on a separate web page on our site _OR_ be taken exclusively by executive committee and executive director. This eliminates confusion for both the donors and the treasurer going forward should such an account be authorized.
