The Libertarian National Committee (LNC) controls and manages the affairs, properties, and funds of the United States Libertarian Party. It is composed of the party officers, five at-large representatives elected every two years at the national convention, and a theoretical maximum of 10 regional representatives.[citation needed] The current chair is Steven Nekhaila, who was elected in a special election on February 2, 2025,[1] following the resignation of previous chair Angela McArdle in the wake of a scandal over her giving a contract to a company set up by her partner, without disclosing the conflict of interest as required by the LNC Policy Manual.[2]

The LNC has lobbied or filed lawsuits against laws and regulations that restrict contributions to parties and candidates.[3][4][5][6]
