Mike Wherry Attends Charlestown Founder's Day Festival

Libertarian Party nominee for Secretary of State Mike Wherry traveled to Charlestown, Indiana, this past Saturday, June 26, to attend the Founder’s Day Festival.  The festival is an annual event in Charlestown with events which include a parade and a talent show.

Wherry spent time at the booth run by Greg Hertzsch, the Libertarian Party’s Ninth District representative to the State Central Committee.  Hertzsch and Wherry were handing out literature and running an Operation Politically Homeless (OPH) booth.  “OPH booths are an effective and fun way to interact with the public and spread our message of freedom and liberty,” says Hertzsch.  Passers-by are invited to take the World’s Smallest Political Quiz and the results are posted on a large chart at the booth.

“It’s a lot of fun to work these booths and the various events and festivals,” says Wherry.  “A lot of people realize that their beliefs are consistent with libertarianism.  Sometimes it’s just a matter of getting the word out to people who may not realize that there are more choices than left and right.  We have success talking to Republicans, Democrats and independents.”

“We had some good developments and passed out a bunch of literature to people who expressed interest,” continues Hertzsch.  “[Many] agreed that we have much in common and will join us in monthly meetups.”

Mike Wherry to Attend Rush and Wayne County Fairs

Libertarian Party nominee for Secretary of State Mike Wherry will be visiting two county fairs this week.  He will be at the booth of the Libertarian Party of Rush County at the Rush County Fair on Tuesday and Thursday evenings (June 22 and June 24) and will attend the Wayne County Libertarians’ booth on Wednesday evening, June 23.

“We are very excited to have Mike Wherry here at the Rush County 4-H Fair.  We think it is really important to promote the Secretary of State race in the smaller communities.  Ballot access is an important issue,” says Paul Morrell, Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Rush County. But, it is not just about ballot access.  “I think we have the opportunity to do very well in the Fall Election.  It’s our goal to be the number two party here in Rush County.”

Wherry will participate in a media event Wednesday evening at the Wayne County Fair with other Libertarian candidates.  Rex Bell, Chairman of the Wayne County Libertarian Party and candidate for Indiana House District 54, says, “[We] are very happy that Mike is coming out to help support local candidates.  Wayne County consistently delivers some of the highest vote totals for our Secretary of State candidates.  That is due in part to all of the good people here in Wayne County, and in part to excellent candidates like Mike Wherry.  We hope to see him here many more times before November.”

“The Fair is here. It’s hot. It’s humid. But, we’re talking about libertarianism and we love it,” beams Morrell.  “It’s exciting to travel to different parts of this great state and meet our campaign supporters,” says Wherry.  “These are two of our strongest county affiliates and it will be on display this week at the county fairs.”

Mike Wherry Visits Lawrence and Elkhart Counties

Mike Wherry has spent the last two weekends on the campaign trail visiting Lawrence and Elkhart counties.  Wherry traveled to Bedford, Indiana, to attend the first Tea Party event in Lawrence County.  The event was held at the county court house and was attended by nearly three hundred people.  “It was a good event and a great chance to meet and talk with voters,” said Wherry.  “There are a lot of voters who are unhappy with the direction of the two major parties.  The more that I have the opportunity to talk with voters one-on-one, the more that they realize that they have a real choice with the Libertarian Party and my campaign."

This past weekend, Wherry traveled to Elkhart, Indiana, to attend a fundraiser sponsored by the Libertarian Party of Indiana to raise money for Wherry and Indiana State House candidate Ron Cenkush.  Cenkush is running in the 5^th District and seeks to unseat twenty-two year incumbent Craig Fry (D).

“It is evident that voters are upset with the status quo.  Ron is running a great campaign up in the 5^th District; it was great to spend time with him and talk to voters in his district.”  Wherry continued, “Hoosiers need choices.  The Libertarian Party is going to be a real threat to the establishment and provides an opportunity to give Indiana voters more choices.”
