Duensing

Libertarians in Lake County gathered last night for their annual convention to elect new officers. Jeff Duensing was elected as Chairman of the County Party. Duensing has served as Vice Chairman for the County Organization for the last term, as well as running for Congress in District 1 and as Central Committee Representative. His goals are to recruit candidates for every office in the County, and to increase the party's membership. 
 
Jeanine Kirpec was elected as Vice Chair. Janice Glueckert was elected the new Treasurer, and the Secretary remains Adelbert Bell. 
 
Their first act is to begin the process of holding a fundraising poker tournament.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - The Libertarian Party of Indiana is governed by officials, such as the State Chair and Treasurer, and by representatives to each of the state’s 9 Congressional Districts. Jeff Duensing represents District 1, in Indiana’s NW region.

Duensing has a plan for strengthening the county organizations within his District, and for recruiting candidates for local office, which he sees as winnable for Libertarian candidates, especially in the area’s rural towns. He recently discussed strategy for the podcast.

CROWN POINT, IN -- Jeff Duensing took his campaign for Indiana's 1st District Congressional seat into unchartered waters Monday night -- Lake County GOP headquarters.

As the GOP county committee was set to meet to fill a ballot vacancy, Libertarian Duensing made rounds at the GOP headquarters courting the support of the libertarian-minded Ron Paul supporters. That lasted until County Chairman John Curley suggested he should leave.

Government reform candidate Bill Johnson, a Crown Point based estate planner, was selected by the committee to fill the ballot vacancy.
