Fellow Libertarians - Happy birthday, Adam! I strongly the numerous inflammatory and unprofessional actions of New Hampshire Libertarian Senate nominee Jeremy Kauffman, which reflect poorly on Libertarians everywhere and jeopardize the electoral success of all Libertarian candidates. 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 consider Lifetime Memberships. Thanks to all our donors, both new and recurring. We just paid for a petition drive and we need to rebuild the treasury. Become a donor today! If you are not a Precinct Committeeperson, please consider becoming one. If you are in an established county, start planning the next PC elections. Meanwhile, the information on https://lpillinois.org/precinct-committeemen/ should be updated. Thanks to everyone who participated in the collection drive. Whether you signed, circulated, validated, donated, or are a candidate for office, your contributions are greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to November. Thanks for making this possible! I turned in a total of 1345 signatures. I was over 10 pages short of my pledge, which I am disappointed I did not make. The GOP is actively filling vacancies in Cook County. We are likely to see three-way races. Keep an eye out for an email appeal. In the month of May, we brought in a total of $1774.10. In June, we brought in $1211.01. Now that I have more free time, I am going to audit my all time donations. 9 of the top 20 months for contribution aggregate have been since April 2021. I am seeking another term as Chair of the Cook County Libertarian Central Committee. I seek to institute a plan for 2024 Ward Committeeperson races, update our bylaws to better comply with IL law, and to fill vacancies in Cook County townships. Please vote for me if you plan to attend the CCLCC convention next Wednesday in Oak Park. Visit here for more details regarding the CCLCC convention: https://lpchicago.org/event/2022-cook-county-libertarian-central-committee-c... I followed up with JB Pritzker's staffer, who I met at an LGBT rights rally. Still no reply. I shopped my op-ed around to several outlets. No reply or reply to follow up. I may modify the op-ed again now that we have turned in petitions and continue sending it to other publications. I attended a meeting of the Chicago chapter of the Neoliberal Project. Some members are LPIL members or sympathetic to the LP. Many of the attendees were fans of the land value tax, a policy prescription supported by LP Cook County Commissioner candidate James Humay, who was also at the same microbrew for a MC meeting. I encourage folks secure their Libertarian memorabilia in our archive at UIC to protect them from damage. Reach out to me about donations, as I just received instructions from our former archivist. I received a copy Professor McCloskey's book "Leave Me Alone and I'll Make You Rich" with her autograph made out to the LP and plan to put into the archive. Thanks to Ken Mattes for his donation of music performed by the choir at the convention gala in Reno to the archive. Thank you for letting me serve you as Executive Director. Best, Justin Tucker Executive Director, Libertarian Party of Illinois
