===Background=== | |||
At the [[LNC Meeting 4-5 September 2021|September 4-5, 2021 meeting]] of the Libertarian National Committee, [[Caryn Ann Harlos]] was suspended from her position as Secretary of the national Libertarian Party by a vote of 11-2 with one abstention. Voting "Yes": [[Erin Adams]], [[Whitney Bilyeu]], [[Laura Ebke]], [[Tim Ferreira|TJ Ferreira]], [[Tim Hagan]], [[Susan Hogarth]], [[Chris Luchini]], [[John Phillips]], [[Richard Longstreth]], [[Valerie Sarwark]], and [[David Sexton]]. Voting "No": [[Rich Bowen]] and [[Dustin Nanna]]. [[Ken Moellman]] abstained. Absent: [[Erik Raudsep]] and [[Joshua Smith]] who were both confirmed "no" or "abstain" votes. A controversy arose when alternate [[David Sexton]] showed up after the departure of [[Steven Nekhaila]] who was a confirmed "no" or "abstain" vote without notifying Mr. Nekhaila that he intended to do same. If Mr. Sexton had not appeared, the motion would have failed. Supporters of the motion state that this was perfectly acceptable. Caryn Ann states that it was certainly legal but characterized it as "trickery." [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HApE36cvexk Meeting video is located here]. Caryn Ann appealed her suspension on the following grounds: | |||
*Failure to provide adequate due process | |||
*Failure to provide evidence of action that rises to the level of a removable offense | |||
*Failure to substantiate allegation that Petitioner violated the Non-Aggression Pledge | |||
*Failure to substantiate allegations that the Petitioner violated the social media policy or the conflict of interest policy in the Policy Manual in effect at the time of the suspension | |||
*Retaliation against a whistleblower | |||
*Dirty hands on the part of the accusers | |||
She has announced she will be running in Reno for either re-election or re-instatement. She also claims she had received more emails in support than anyone else in Party history, claiming the number is over 1,000. | |||
