Straw Poll for Political Vice-Chair, Districts Choose New Reps

Several elections for party leaders for the Libertarian Party of Michigan were held at the Convention on January 17, 2026 at the H Hotel in Midland.

The convention started with members objecting to holding a vote for the vacant seat for 2nd Vice-Chair due to lack of a 60-day notice. The delegates voted to have a straw poll for the position, with the results to be voted on by the Libertarian Executive Committee at their February 8th meeting. Trevor Step won the straw poll. 

Congressional District 11 selected Dave Franklin to continue in his role as representative on the Libertarian Executive Committee. District 11 contains several communities in Oakland County

Congressional District 12 selected Andrew Chadderdon as their representative. District 12 consists of parts of both Oakland and Wayne Counties.  

Congressional District 5 was represented by John Jascob who passed away. Members of District 5 chose Larry Henneman as their representative. Because of lack of notice, the board has to vote to accept the members’ recommendation for District 5. This vote will occur at the February 8th LEC meeting. District 5 includes BranchCassHillsdaleJacksonLenawee Counties as well as parts of MonroeSt. Joseph, Berrien, and Kalamazoo counties.
