“Who am I? Why am I here?”
– James Stockdale

I’ll answer the latter question first.

I’m running to be the Libertarian National Committee’s Secretary to:

Build back the professionalism that we once had in the national party.
Build back the trust of the membership.
Promote transparency and civility in the LNC.

As to the former question, I…

…have been a member of the LP for over three decades.
…have run for the Maine legislature three times
…have served on the Knox County Budget Committee for over a decade, reelected twice.
…have been a delegate to 11 prior national conventions.
…have served in the Libertarian Party of Maine’s state committee as
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Chair
- Regional Rep.
…am a co-owner and president of my family’s business, a manufacturing company with a dozen employees

Leading up to the Libertarian Party National Convention, I’ll be posting more details about my background and hopes for the future of the Libertarian Party.

Thanks for your consideration and support.

You lost to a mentally ill drama queen. How does that feel?

  I’ll quote from my twitter post at https://x.com/ShawnL_LNC/status/1794870670414970942
  
  First of all, congratulations to Caryn Ann Harlos on her reelection.
  
  Second, congratudolences to Mimi Robson for coming in second.
  
  Third, but probably most importantly, I appreciate all the support I received, not only from those who voted for me but also from those who intended to vote for me until Mimi joined the race.
  
  During my campaigning during the convention, I was pleased to hear the many thanks I constantly received for running.
  I want to give a special thanks to the Maine delegation, who not only voted for me unanimously but also helped me distribute literature.
  
  I’ll add to that: This wasn’t about my ego. It was about my concerns for the future of the party that I’ve been a member of since the early 1990’s. The results of the 2024 convention were a mixed bag. But I have high hopes for the party’s restoration with the 2026 convention.
  
  Finally, I was concerned that I’d be the focus of much abuse during the campaign. Shockingly, this comment, over a year later, is the first I’ve seen of any, and the cruelty seems to be more directed at Ms. Harlos.
  
  I guess it’s this last observation that led me to allow this comment to get through moderation. It was a novelty.
