2021 Campaign for OKLP Chair
Hobbie announced his campaign for Oklahoma Libertarian Party Chair on February 2nd, 2021. Kevin ran as a Unity Coalition Candidate, who gained support from both the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus and other members of the party. In a very unique election, the outcome of the first vote was a dead tie, 23-23 with one abstention. Hobbie and his opponent, Rex Lawhorn, offered to split the duties and serve as co-chairs. However, the delegates decided to continue voting, and Kevin won the Chairmanship by a single vote in the second round.
