Please join us for our 2025 annual convention!
We are the leading alternative to the Ds and Rs in Wake County striving to defend all your rights, all the time and to keep government out of your pocketbook and out of your bedroom. We must be doing something right: we’ve outgrown both the Ds and Rs for the past 32 years (+3,566% compared to +104% for the Ds and +110% for the Rs since 1993) and in 2024, garnered an all-time record 321k votes for our candidates.
Come check us out and enjoy delicious snack food gratis, hear from a great lineup of guest speakers, and find out how we plan to advance our agenda (zoning reform, fairness for independent voters, school choice, reducing taxes, etc.). We will take care of some party business—including electing officers for 2025-26 and selecting delegates to the 2025 LPNC Convention in Forsyth County in May—and enjoy hanging out together.
Note: if you wish to be a delegate to our Convention, please pre-register here: https://shorturl.at/L4IUq If you show up without pre-registering, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to qualify you to be a delegate. Delegates (only) can also attend/vote remotely via Zoom; to do so, you MUST pre-register. Note that some votes may be conducted electronically; to participate in those, delegates must provide us with an e-mail that you can access during the meeting.
Guest Speakers:
Rob Yates, Communications Director for the LPNC will be speaking on the topic “Effective Communication.” From Charlotte, NC, Rob is a joyous advocate for our party principles. His down to earth approach has helped build the Liberty iNC podcast into what it is today. Rob is awesome, what else do we need to say?
Ryan Brown, Chair of the LPNC, is seeking re-election at the state party convention in May and will speak about his vision for moving the state party forward. Ryan’s notoriety got a boost last year when he garnered more votes (1,140) than the difference between his establishment party opponents (228)…and the resulting upset win by the Democrat in a red-leaning district broke the Rs super-majority in the NC House.

• Call to order (Travis Groo, 7:15pm)
