More Libertarian office-holders than any other county in the country -- that's the enviable accomplishment of the Seminole County LP, following the appointment of two more Libertarians last month.With the appointments of Ben Champion to the County Trails Commission and Janet Hawkins to the board of directors of the Port Authority, the county LP now has seven LP members serving in public office.
The two new officeholders put Libertarians within striking distance of replacing Democrats "as the second-largest political party in Seminole County," said state newsletter editor Tom Regnier.
