The Libertarian Party of Florida Candidates Committee moves this request to the Libertarian Party of Florida Executive Committee for a 2024 Candidate Recruitment Program budget not to exceed $7,500. This program includes using 5 or more different modes of communication to voters including the creation of a recruitment webpage, phone calls, emails, text messages, Facebook ads and direct mail, being the costliest item.
Background:
This request is for $5,000 in new funds for the Candidates Committee where $2,500 remains unspent from the previous budget allotted.
This program was first envisioned by former LNC Executive Director Wes Benedict and current chair of the Libertarian Booster PAC. The overview of the program proposal is as follows:

In addition, the candidates committee has taken inventory of the different services the LPF and LNC can provide candidates creating a LPF Candidate Support Program to highlight the offering we have for candidates.
The Libertarian Party of Florida provides candidate support in the form of:
• Web hosting and fundraising tools through Nationbuilder (which also provides internal email and text messaging to prospects, volunteers and donors).
• Voter gravity, a canvassing and phone bank software (Josh has the ability to create new accounts with the discount for our candidates)
• Political consultation (to help define issues, campaign plan, etc.)
• And volunteer management, among other forms of support to help candidates run complete breakthrough campaigns.
We won't give your campaign funds to qualify for a congressional seat but we will help with fundraising.
