Six Libertarian Party presidential candidates will participate in a debate this Saturday, which will follow the Libertarian Party of Connecticut’s state convention business session. The debate is open to the public and will be held at the Courtyard Marriott Cromwell in Cromwell, Connecticut. It is scheduled to commence at 3:00 PM EST.
Those candidates participating in Saturday’s debate include Michael Rectenwald, Joshua Smith, Mike Ter Maat, Chase Oliver, Lars Mapstead, and Jacob Hornberger. Libertarian Party activist Larry Sharpe will moderate the debate.
Following the debate, there will be a VIP session for participants who paid ahead of time, including dinner and an opportunity to converse with the six candidates.
In addition to the six hopefuls, paying attendees will have the opportunity to hear from several guest speakers following the convention. These speakers include Josie “the Red Headed Libertarian” Glabach, co-host and news contributor of Timcast, gun rights activist and Black Guns Matter founder Maj Toure, Clint Russell, host of the Liberty Lockdown podcast, and Fengsuo Zhuo, a human rights activist known for his involvement in the Tiananmen Square protests.

Is there a logical reason to decide to not stream the debate?
“Why is it the only time I see Rectenwald campaigning, it’s doing these debates or an interview on a podcast with someone who already supports him?”
Campaigning costs money.
Why is it the only time I see Rectenwald campaigning, it’s doing these debates or an interview on a podcast with someone who already supports him? Most of the other guys are zipping all over the country actually talking to voters and trying to whip up grassroots.
There’s a screenshot on Twitter titled “Anticipated Q&A” saying that the presidential nominee will only have 47-state ballot access due to the remaining 3 states projected to cost $600k. It doesn’t share the states saying those will be in executive session (you think they won’t get out shortly after, really?), but looking at the state of petitioning in the November edition of Ballot Access News my guesses are Alabama, Illinois, and New York.
Who are these candidates?
