Vice chairman election

The seat of Vice chairman is also up for election, the incumbent being Arvin Vohra. Alex Merced, 2017 candidate for New York comptroller,[15] Libertarian Youth Caucus founder Trent Somes III,[16] 2018 Iowa gubernatorial candidate Jake Porter,[17] Indiana activist Joe Hauptmann,[18] Treasurer of the Libertarian Radical Caucus Steve Scheetz, former Indiana Libertarian Party chair Sam Goldstein[19] and Montana Libertarian Joe Paschal are also seeking the office.

In January 2018 Arvin Vohra drew criticism for condoning sexual relations between adults and minors so long as affirmative consent is given, using the example of a 25-year-old male and a 15-year-old female.[20] Multiple state Libertarian parties demanded Vohra be relieved from his position, as well as the Libertarian Youth Caucus through Trent Somes III, one of Vohra's opponents in the vice chairmanship election.[21][22]

During the Convention, a motion was made to nominate Matthew Geiger, a Libertarian activist and high school student from Maryland, as Vice chairman of the Libertarian National Committee.

Controversies

Feud with Libertarian Party Mises Caucus

In late 2017, the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus reached out to the chairman of the 2018 LP Convention Committee, Daniel Hayes, entertaining the thought of former congressman and 1988 Libertarian Party presidential nominee Ron Paul and Freedom Watch host Judge Napolitano speaking at the convention, offering to pay off speaking fees. Hayes rejected the idea of Paul speaking at the convention, saying "he has no idea what the LP represents", criticizing Napolitano as well.[31] Ron Paul confronted the controversy, stating he has been a lifetime member of the Libertarian Party since 1987 when he paid using a gold coin, and asked, "do I get my gold coin back?"[32]

On February 3, 2018 Nicholas Sarwark confronted the controversy, saying in a tweet: "If Ron Paul decides he wants to attend the Libertarian Party national convention in New Orleans and speak, I'll make sure he gets time on the stage. It's the least we can do for a life member, former Presidential nominee, and Hall of Liberty award winner."[33]
