Think Liberty

Opening statements right meow

Raucous applause throughout Smith's opening. He ended up running out of time because the room wouldn't let up.

Bishop-Henchman talked solutions and his resume with working on tax policy.

Shipley spoke about decentralization of the LNC and more centrist messaging.

Wenke said alot of things. Kind of a stream of consciousness vibe. Idk what he said really

D'Orazio talked about his resume as a candidate, unity, and bringing success and harmony to the party.

"How will you set a unified vision for the LP?" The Zoom people are difficult to hear sometimes. D'Orazio had good ideas, Wenke is clearly on drugs, Shipley is speaking from experience with his bottom unity campaign, Smith talks about setting an example as a leader

Bishop-Henchman is using Sarwark talking points. Lamont spoke of a unified purpose to get behind.

I can only do summaries of there answers really.

"What is the largest meeting you have run, how successful was it, and what did you learn?"

Bishop-Henchman: 700, learned to listen

Smith: chaired the Oklahoma State convention. Joe Exotic was there.

Shipley: worked with non-profits, specifically with addiction recovery.

Wenke: stuff in high school I think? He kept cutting out.

D'Orazio: cut out a bit, and the PA is kinda wonky. I really wish I could've heard it better.

"What are the top 3 issues facing the LP today?"

Smith: membership growth, candidate resources, ballot access.

Shipley: messaging, unity, self-respect in the party.

Wenke: says only one problem. People getting pushed out of the party.

D'Orazio: marketing, risk mitigation, started cutting out

Lamont: ballot access, messaging specifically not being able to refute falsehoods, money.

Bishop-Henchman: getting libertarians elected, summarized it into all three.

Each candidate gets to ask someone a question.

Hang on this is tough to keep up with. Im missing Wenkes question. Sorry guys.

It was about media attention

Ok I misheard the topic. The question is "how do you get media attention for the LP?"

Lamont: hire professionals or use current talent

Bishop-Henchman: is talking about a town in New Mexico and ICE. Is apparently ashamed of no one knowing about it.

Smith: have to look for media opportunities and be aggressive in seeking them. Building teams for that purpose.

Shipley: stop thinking the media cares, and use grassroots methods.
