Dave Benner is the current Communications Director of the Libertarian Party of Tennessee, member of the Judicial Committee of the Libertarian Party of Tennessee, and former At Large member of the Libertarian Party of Minnesota. He is also on the national Libertarian Party Communications Committee.
Dave is a self-described ideological and methodological radical. While acknowledging the value of every strategy to actualize a world set free, he places greater personal emphasis on libertarian education and messaging campaigns, and on concerted efforts to obstruct and undermine existing state policy and its law enforcement apparatus, than on traditional electoral politics. His biggest issue of passion is political decentralization, manifested through nullification and secession campaigns, which he works to advocate for in every corner of the union, from the state to the individual level.
He is the author of Compact of the Republic: The League of States and the Constitution, and The 14th Amendment and the Incorporation Doctrine, and a forthcoming biography on Thomas Paine. He contributes articles to the Mises Institute and Tenth Amendment Center, and has associated with the Libertarian Party since 2004, in three different state affiliates, with an interregnum from 2008-2014.
