Chair / January 2026 Chair Report
« Last post by Chair on January 18, 2026, 12:58:10 PM »January focused heavily on communications, organizational continuity, and preparation for the upcoming Libertarian Party of Florida Convention and Annual Business Meeting.
During the month, I continued submitting articles and letters to the editor to local Florida news outlets, as well as contributing written content to the LPF website. These efforts were aimed at maintaining a consistent libertarian presence in public discourse and reinforcing the Party’s positions on current issues.
I also worked closely with LPF committees and affiliates on email blasts, messaging coordination, and convention-related communications. This included supporting outreach efforts connected to the Theme Contest and ongoing promotion of LPFCON26.
In addition, I communicated directly with the Executive Committee regarding the Party’s current infrastructure and financial sustainability, including the NationBuilder platform used for websites, email, SMS, donations, and convention operations. This outreach was intended to ensure transparency, prompt discussion, and timely decision-making as we approach key deadlines and expenses.
January also included continued coordination related to convention planning, logistics, and organizational readiness as we move into February. As such, I've requested and personally taken care of accommodations for Mike Seebeck to be the parliamentarian.

Communications / January 2026 Communications Committee Report
« Last post by Communications on January 18, 2026, 12:51:25 PM »In January we continued to support party messaging efforts for the State and affiliates as necessary sending several email blasts, press releases through Agility, and social media posts. We also continue to maintain NationBuilder website for the party, the convention, affiliates, and several candidates. We need to strongly discuss either fundraising efforts for NationBuilder, or another option, as we have to let them know before February 19th (the day before Convention) if we intend to cancel/not renew.
