Libertarian National Committee
The Libertarian National Committee (LNC) controls and manages the affairs, properties, and funds of the United States Libertarian Party. It is composed of the party officers, five at-large representatives elected every two years at the national convention, and a theoretical maximum of ten regional representatives. The current chair elected in May 2012 is Geoff Neale. The Executive Director is Carla Howell.[1]
The Libertarian National Committee has lobbied or filed law suits against laws and regulations that restrict contributions to parties and candidates.[2][3][4][5]
The Libertarian National Committee is a separate entity from the "Libertarian National Congressional Committee", a Federal Elections Commission registered entity,[6] now doing business as the "Libertarian National Campaign Committee."[7]
