[Lnc-business] Region 4 Report

[Jeff Hewitt]

                              On Jan. 18th and 19th the LPCA put on a
summit in Visalia that had panels and speakers to facilitate activists
and candidates in their pursuit of liberty.  The state is very large and
this was our first gathering in the central part in some since 2014. 

                              Coming up on Feb. 14th-17th at the
Doubletree Hotel in Culver City is the 2020 California State Convention.
 As of now there will be at least 15 presidential candidates who will
vie for a limited amount of spots in the debate.  Since California is
allotted 107 delegates at Austin and the next largest state is Texas
with 75, this will draw an immense amount of attention and could be a
trial run for National. Bring your valentine because nothing says
romance like liberty. 

                               We have 11 of 15 spots on the ballot
where a candidate is running unopposed filled with write-ins.  This is
for the March 3rd primary which now puts California up front on Super
Tuesday.  At this time we also have several Libertarians running for
nonpartisan local offices including but not limited to; Aaron Starr for
Oxnard mayor, Kalish Morrow for Hanford city council, Bob Karwin for
Menifee city council and Tyler Kuskie foe El Dorado county supervisor. 

                                 However, we should give a shout out to
Nevada for having such a libertarian state that allows legal use of
cannabis and also is the only state in the union that has legalized sex
workers.  We all think of Las Vegas when we think of Nevada but I would
say that the "biggest little city in the world" is a great venue for
watching "the big game" by "the biggest little party" in the country. 

                                                                        
                                                                Jeff
