[Lnc-business] [Lnc-votes] Most visible wins of the night, and those we may never hear about directly

[Starchild]

	If the other members of the Oxnard City Council don't yet know what hit them, I'm sure they will find out soon!  <grin> Congratulations, Aaron! It's good to know that the residents of at least one city in California should be able to look forward to more responsible fiscal management by their elected representatives.

	Congrats as well to Mitch Rushing in Kentucky – I wonder what is the highest number of constituents who've previously been represented by a Libertarian? If 750,000 doesn't beat that number, I'm guessing it must not be far off. And to Susan Bell in Indiana for winning reelection, and all the other Libertarians across the country who got elected last night!

	But I also want to recognize all those Libertarians who didn't win in conventional electoral terms, but who fought the good fight and may have won important libertarian victories in the never-ending battle for hearts and minds. Those victories, although less visible, may in some cases ultimately prove more meaningful and enduring. 

	Thank you to all the pro-freedom candidates who ran under the banner of the Libertarian Party, and just as importantly to all the people who were there helping and supporting them behind the scenes, volunteering on their campaigns, donating money and other resources, maintaining the Libertarian Party infrastructure necessary to support those campaigns, and being out there in their communities advancing libertarian ideas and making the soil more fertile for Libertarian candidates to win votes. Not to mention all those who fought to get good ballot measures passed and resist statist measures that further encroach on our rights.

	The struggle for freedom continues – onward and upward (on the Nolan Chart)! 

	Power to the People, not the Government!

Love & Liberty,
                                    ((( starchild )))

I believe it's a non partisan seat, but when a LNC Regional Alternate wins a seat I think that makes it pretty apparent what team he is part of.

Oxnard is a city of about 200,000 people if I am not mistaken.  It's not a large city but its not tiny either.  Aaron has run a systematic and professional campaign, building his name recognition along the way over 2 election cycles. People should take note of what he did.  Kudos Aaron!
