About Me
As of March 2025, I am Secretary of LP Hays County (TX) and a life member of the National Libertarian Party.
Campaign Finance Disclosure
In case I donated to your campaign and forgot to tell you these things:
- I am an adult citizen of the United States and a resident of Texas.
- I am a natural person. I am not a corporation, not a labor union, not a PAC.
- Any money I donated to your campaign came from money that I earned myself. No one else has ever reimbursed me for a campaign contribution.
- I am not a federal contractor.
- I am not a government contractor for any government anywhere.
- My occupation is RETIRED.
- My employer is NOT APPLICABLE.
- I contribute to Libertarian campaigns because I support small and honest government.
My plans
I am focusing on office holders and current candidates (who eventually become historical candidates).
Add pages for office holders I know who aren't already in LPedia.
So far this is anecdotal, when I encounter a name, I check LPedia and make a page. In the future I will go through back issues of the national newsletter; they used to list electeds. And I will check lp.org and archive captures of lp.org.
Larry Bush
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_Party_of_Texas says Larry Bush was elected to Jarrell TX City Council.
- Wikipedia cites https://lp.org/elected-officials-2/ which no longer exists.
- https://www.kvue.com/article/news/special-reports/jarrell-tornado/jarrell-population-infrastructure-demands/269-947bad9e-61de-4ae0-b1dd-198e405db3c says Bush was elected to city council in 2007 and elected to mayor in 2014.
- https://www.wilcosun.com/news-jarrell/jarrell-elects-new-mayor-council-member-and-trustee from 2022 says that Larry Bush is leaving the office of mayor.
I have not found any source that identifies Larry Bush as a Libertarian. A search for site:lp.org bush does not return any results for Larry Bush (just some results for George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush).
Add pages for all LP Texas 2025 candidates.
2025-03-16: Done.
Noob here!
I have experience with other wikis, but I am new to LPedia. Style advice and other advice welcome.
(Not new to Libertarianism, though. If you voted for John Hospers or Roger Macbride then you've been a Libertarian longer than me. Otherwise not.)
