Live Stream of US Senate Candidate Forum

The Libertarian Party believes strongly that government should be accountable to the people, as should candidates. Libertarians unable to attend the annual state convention April 4-6 in Durham will still be able to watch the U.S. Senate candidate forum streaming live over the internet via Google Hangout and ask questions of the candidates via the Twitter hashtag #LPNCSenate.

The forum will be held Saturday, April 5 at 4 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn, 4520 S. Miami Blvd., Durham. The participants are Tim D'Annunzio or Raeford and Sean Haugh of Durham. Barry Smith, a Carolina Journal columnist, will moderate.

Shortly following the event, a recording of the forum will be available via the LPNC YouTube channel.

The U.S. Senate candidate forum question hashtag is #LPNCSenate

Kudos to President Johnson and the American people on this accomplishment.
