ATLANTA - Presidential candidate Chase Oliver is visiting Minnesota Libertarians to inspire them to attend the convention coming in April.
“While I will, unfortunately, miss their convention, I would be remiss if I didn’t get back to Minnesota to meet with so many hardworking Libertarians,” says Oliver, 38, winner of the Presidential Straw Poll at the Libertarian Party of Iowa Caucus and who earned a spot in the Free and Equal debate next week.
Oliver will be meeting Libertarians in Burnsville, where Libertarian Cara Schulz is the two-term city council member and is seeking a third term. There will also be two extraordinary special guests, Lev Assev and Mark Pervushin, both in their early 20s, who will share their remarkable journey and sign copies of their book.
Their story is gripping: fleeing Russia amidst the threat of mandatory conscription under Putin's regime, they embarked on a courageous journey to escape violence and totalitarianism. Their book, "The New Exodus: Escaping Putin’s War," vividly recounts their harrowing escape and their quest for freedom.
“Our upcoming meet and greet in Burnsville is sure to be a great event that with wonderful conversations that can warm a Minnesota winter,” Oliver says. “Join us and hear about a powerful and positive message of liberty that will break through the two-party static.”
The Libertarian Party of Minnesota convention will be April 19-21 in Duluth, where the state delegates will choose those who will attend the national convention on Memorial Day weekend in Washington D.C. Delegates at the national convention will nominate the Libertarian candidate for president.
