Three panel sessions were held on various current issues, with over 75 students participating in the texting-while-driving forum.
Libertarians and liberty-supporters are encouraged to support our endorsed candidates this November. While odd-year municipal elections tend to receive minimal publicity by the media and lower turnout by the general public, it also affords libertarians an opportunity to have an outsized impact on the election results. Also, for the first time, Minneapolis residents will have a chance to try out the new Ranked Choice Voting method (Instant Runoff Voting), which the Libertarian Party had endorsed before its approval by city voters in 2006.
Mary O'Connor, Libertarian Party of Minnesota endorsed candidate, is running for a seat on the school board of Brooklyn Center school district 286. There will be a debate Tuesday, October 13th starting at 7:00pm at the Brooklyn Center City Hall. She will be debating three other candidates.
