Libertarian Party Gets New National Chair After Angela McArdle's Surprise Resignation

Good. The Mises Sights Caucus sucked.

Heise lost in a 9–6 vote to Steven Nekhaila, who had been an at-large member of the LNC and threw his hat in the ring very late in the process.

Lol, that's a pretty big diss IMO.

Heise said, in defense of wanting to lead a third party after he endorsed and supported the existing president of a major party, that blind demands for partisanship on the part of the L.P. were insulting to would-be donors and harm outreach to potential major party converts.

Why would you want someone to chair your party that didn't even vote for your party's nominee?

I get that freeing Ross Ulbricht was a pretty big deal, but surely it didn't require his vote...

Heise also firmly insisted the LNC should not care about, and not seek the identities of, the unnamed donors he announced would pay him directly if he took the formally unpaid position of LNC chair.

Hmm, seems sketchy...

Anyway, glad to see the Mises Caucus get challenged a bit, hopefully they lose control in the next convention.
