Wendt was drawn to Libertarian activism in 2012 as a supporter of Gary Johnson. His studies in economics, the borderline poverty of his childhood, and his dedication to the founding principles of the United States together led him to embrace the The [[Libertarian Party]]. In 2016 He furthered his involvement by running for office in Montana's House District 61. He garnered 4% of the vote with no funding. During his Montana House Run he assumed the role of State Director for the 2016 Johnson/Weld Presidential campaign. This introduced him to such people as [[Michael Fucci]] and [[Cindy Dyson]], and led the way for the restructuring of the [[Montana Libertarian Party]] following the death of long-time chair and liberty activist [[Mike Fellows]]. | Wendt was drawn to Libertarian activism in 2012 as a supporter of [[Gary Johnson]].
