Lana Leguia

Running For: Secretary

Are you a dues paying, or life, member of the Libertarian Party?

Sustaining Member

Have you served previously on the Libertarian National Committee?

Will you please describe any experience you have making budgeting decisions for medium sized organizations?

I have been the Treasurer for two statewide campaigns as well as the Finance Director for LOLA USA. All three included managing expenditures, overseeing financial planning, reporting, and assessing potential risks.

Can you name a large, successful convention that you helped to plan?

I have been the Chair of the New Jersey Convention Committee for the last four years and helped organize and was the Presiding Officer for the Annual Congress for the International Alliance of Libertarian Parties in 2026.

Will you please describe any ballot access campaign you've helped to organize or supervise, and what the result was?

I've organized the NJ candidates for the last 3 years. I've collected signatures personally and organized volunteers for my own campaigns, the C. Oliver campaign, the NJLP 2025 Governor campaign, the NJLP Senate candidates in 2024 and 2026, as well as local NJ office campaigns. I've organized paid petitioners, as well as joint efforts with NJ and PA affiliate volunteers. I spoke in front of the SSG Committee speaking against S3994 that raised the signature threshold for all candidates in NJ.

Can you name a time when you resisted the temptation to take on a project outside of your organization's core functions?

There are a few vital committees in both the NJLP and IALP that are currently in need of competent people. I resist the urge to take on the task for two reasons. One, I don't want to spread myself too thin and two, it doesn't motivate members to contribute to the organization they are a part of if one person is willing to take on all the work and do it well.

Will you please describe a time when you were able to work with someone you didn't like or with someone who didn't like you? Do you tend to make people you work with angry?

I work with people I don't like all the time. In addition to this, certain people refuse to cooperate with me on joint projects, call me names, spread rumors about me and actively sabotage my efforts within the Liberty movement. I have learned so many lessons about the strength behind personal restraint and resilience through these experiences. One thing I can guarantee is composure in professional settings. Decorum within meetings is very important to me. I am however very transparent about my work. Before becoming active in the Libertarian Party, I worked in male dominated fields and learned a great deal about the ramifications with keeping secrets about people's behavior. Tactful honesty is always best.

Is there anything else that would make you a good member of the Libertarian National Committee?

My dedication to being principled.

Have you served previously in a Secretary capacity for an organization of about the same size as the Libertarian Party?

Yes, I am currently the Secretary General for the International Alliance of Libertarian Parties.

Are you highly proficient in the advanced formatting features of Microsoft Word, or other word processing software?

Yes.

Are you reasonably familiar with Robert’s Rules of Order?

Yes. I was the presiding officer for the annual congress for the IALP in which Robert's Rules of Order was governing parliamentary procedure and am currently studying for my RP (registered parliamentarian).
