Matesz, Earl, Jaffe and Liston among attendees
Sandusky -- Saturday January 30th was an exciting day for Northwest Ohio Libertarians. A Citizens Town Hall Meeting was held at the Lyman Waterfront Banquet Hall in Sandusky, and five Libertarian candidates along with some others were given the opportunity to address the approximately two hundred attendees. Clearly, the Libertarian Party of Ohio was well represented as our Libertarian candidates represented a plurality of those who presented.
The mood of the meeting from the decorations, through the opening and including the format was one of sensible patriotism. People there were seeking candidates who “get it,” and the Libertarian speakers didn’t disappoint them. Congressional Candidate, Joe Jaffe, and U.S. Senate hopeful, Jeremy Swartz fired up the crowd with stem winders and their immense energy. Both knowledgably handled the Q and A sessions with grace and passion.
Gubernatorial candidate, Ken Matesz, captivated the crowd with a thoughtful, heartfelt presentation, and acquitted himself well with citizen participation portion of his time. Kurtis Liston, state representative candidate from Akron, ventured into foreign waters to lend support to his fellow Libertarians. Kurt’s appearance made many feel confident about his race. Charlie Earl, recently announced Ohio Secretary of State candidate, closed the show (the meeting), and many of the people mingled around to speak with candidates and sign petitions.
Organizers of the affair appeared to be somewhat surprised at the number of Libertarians who participated, and suggested that they may wish to promote a similar event in the future that would be structure to introduce the Libertarian ideals to voters in NW Ohio.
