Connections: The current state of the Libertarian Party

We discuss the current state of the Libertarian Party, especially as we head into the midterms. The Libertarian Party had high hopes for the 2016 election season, but things seemed to collapse, at least at the polls. What happened? And what does the party need to do — at a local and national level — to build more support?

We’re joined by local libertarians:

  • Kevin Wilson, chair of the Monroe County Libertarian Party
  • Phil Ricci, founding chair of the Genesee County Libertarian Party
  • Lauren Hall, assistant professor of political science at RIT
