“Cause good trouble. Plant better ideas.”
In this episode of Libertarian Leadership Academy, Michael Pickens talks about taking on entrenched local power—from launching a recall effort against a county commissioner to challenging the system all the way to the Supreme Court. Even when the process is shut down, the impact matters. Joe Hannoush and Michael discuss how running for office creates opportunities to share libertarian solutions through local organizations, seed new ideas, and push conversations that wouldn’t happen otherwise.
