The Libertarian Party of Morgan County held its annual county convention at Black Dog Brewing Company this Saturday January 9th. At this year’s convention the members of the party voted to elect county officers, delegates to the Libertarian Party of Indiana State Convention, and approve a 2021 budget.

Anna Elliott, who was re-elected as the party’s Treasurer unanimously, gave the financial report. The party raised $4,234.95 in 2020.

Danny Lundy was re-elected as Chair for the party in a nearly unanimous vote (he abstained from voting for himself). Mr Lundy later thanked the members publicly on Facebook.

“Thank you to the Libertarian Party of Morgan County for re-electing me as chair. We’ve come a long way in two years, but there is a lot of work still to be done.

I look forward to watching this party #LevelUp in the coming years.

To our new Officers and Directors: Thank you for your commitment. We’ve got work to do.”

The Vice-Chair position was contested this year. Eric Allen and Christopher Gault both put their names forward for the position. Eric Allen gave his statement to members first, stating he was excited to see the party growing in Morgan County and he wanted to pitch in and help as much as he could. In Chris Gault’s statement to members he stated that he was willing to help shoulder some of the Chair’s responsibilities as he knows Danny currently has a lot of commitment to the State party. After a brief discussion the membership chose Chris Gault to be its Vice-Chair. Chris also took to Facebook to thank the members:

“I was elected and am looking forward to serving Morgan County Libertarians as Vice-Chair. I appreciate the confidence my party has in me as we move forward into 2021. Excited for our future!!”

Kristin Alexander also had an overwhelming amount of support from the members to continue as Secretary as she too was re-elected to her position unanimously.

The members also approved a 2021 budget, select several delegates to the State Convention, to be held March 26th-28th at the Forum Event Center in Fishers, and announced a wide range of goals they have set for 2021.

Immediately following the convention, the party also held an Executive Committee meeting to appoint Directors:

The Libertarian Party of Morgan County seeks a principled and innovative approach to local government; inclusive communication with the public, and accountability for our officials.
