Newly Reformed Libertarian National Committee Region 1 Includes 14 States, 20% of National Membership

Fourteen State Libertarian Parties have signed agreements to reform the Libertarian National Committee’s Region 1 seat, accounting for over one-fifth of the party’s total national membership. This new Region 1 will have two members on the Committee.

According to information shared to the public LNC business list on Tuesday, the new Region 1 will consist of 14 states, representing 20.223% of the party’s national sustaining membership. Member states include Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, and Wisconsin. Due to its membership exceeding 20% of the national total, the new Region 1 will have two regional representatives and two alternate representatives on the larger Libertarian National Committee.

The two new Region 1 Representatives elected to the Libertarian National Committee include Adam Haman of Nevada and Roman Garcia of Arizona. The two alternate members are Andrew Chadderdon and Nick Shawan. There is also “expressed interest” from several other state parties to join the new Region 1, although which states are currently not known by Independent Political Report.

While regional seats on the Libertarian National Committee are fluid and subject to change every two years, the most recent previous Region 1 consisted of Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. Meanwhile, Indiana, Kentucky, and Michigan were previously associated with Region 3. Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, and Wyoming were not previously associated with any specific region.

According to the list, the only other Libertarian National Committee Region to return a signed agreement so far is Region 4, which consists solely of California and has since re-elected current Region Representative Meridith Hays.
