I think it's great that the LNC now has a better understanding of how the
social media team works. Transparency is always a good thing. I'm sure we
will come together to improve the quality and accountability of the process.

We all share the same goals and I think we're headed in the right
direction. Communication and messaging is the key to growing the party.

Thanks,
Patrick McKnight
