At its 2009 State Convention last Saturday, the Libertarian Party of Colorado elected new leadership to the Board of Directors. Outgoing chair, Travis Nicks, was replaced by David K. Williams, Jr., who was serving as the legislative director.
Other new board members include Justin Longo as the Legislative Liaison, Kate Melvin as the Media Director, Debbie Schum as the Western Slope Outreach Director and Deni Cates as the Fundraising Director.
With the change in leadership also comes a new focus for the party. Under Williams' direction, the party will build on the momentum of the Tea Party movement and hopes to capture the attention of unaffiliated voters and those who are frustrated with the current two party system.
"Right now, the country is in the throws of a school-girl infatuation with Obama and in a torrid love affair with the government," said Williams. "Both will end, and when the promises of prosperity via government debt and taxation are broken, America will once again return to its only true and lasting love: freedom."
