Henrico Libertarian Convention a Success

On Wednesday, May 16 the annual convention of the Libertarian Party of Henrico drew a larger turnout than it did in 2006. Two candidates for the Henrico Board of Supervisors, George Marchenko of Tuckahoe District and Matt Martin of Brookland District, were nominated and approved. The current members of the LPHC board were all reelected and bylaws debated.
The keynote speaker at this event was John Taylor, president of the Virginia Institute for Public Policy and founder of the lobbying group Tertium Quids. In an inspiring oration he outlined the strategy he used as state chairman of the Libertarian Party of Georgia to help transform that party from an under-funded nonentity into a successful political bastion in that state, rivaling the major parties. As a lifetime student of public policy he gave informed perspectives on the increasing irrelevance of Democrats and Republicans and why the Libertarian party will rise.
LPHC Chairman Leonard Harris says of the event "I was happy to see higher turnout than last year's convention. We also nominated two really great candidates for Board of Supervisors. Matt Martin and George Marchenko have the right vision to move Henrico's forward."
