Libertarian candidates <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Olga Parsons</span></b>

the City Council, both handily unseating incumbents. <a

John Budziszewski 1169 votes (35%). Ms Parsons credits her ability to doorknock
every registered voter in her district <i><span style='font-style:italic'>twice</span></i>.
Similarly, Ms Dahl pulled in 1074 votes (61%) vs incumbent Mark Hoffmann 677
votes (38%).”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

suggest you watch the video – it describes how all 3 incumbents were
turned out of office a few weeks ago. Notice that Ms. Parsons doesn’t
macho flash.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the LPMN now has two Libertarians on that City Council, that means they only

also hope that unlike the 2014 Libertarian National Convention, the 2016
Convention in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Orlando</st1:place></st1:City>
uses elected Libertarians in a majority of the speaking slots, and only uses “movement”
speakers to supplement the elected official speakers.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
