Mike Hihn announces bid for LNC
Mike Hihn, the State Director of the Washington state Libertarian Party, has announced that he is running for the At-Large position on the Libertarian National Committee.
If elected, Hihn said he would focus on three goals:
First, "Rapid growth creates challenges for any organization," he said. "We all need to work and plan, just to maintain today's high level of professionalism as we grow."
Second, he would be "a voice" for state and local parties. "In my state, I'm literally the person at the other end of national support. I know how much that support helps, how it can be improved, and where it might be expanded," said Hihn.
Finally, he would take advantage of his experience as an elected school board member. "If Libertarians aren't preparing to govern, then we're waiting for somebody else to create a free society," he said.
Hihn is a small-business consultant specializing in strategic and marketing planning. Besides serving as the paid State Director for the Washington LP, he is also on the National Platform Committee, and the editor of Liberty Issues.
