Motion:
WHEREAS, Aaron Starr has been a steadfast champion of Libertarian principles, a dedicated activist, and a former Treasurer of the Libertarian National Committee; and
WHEREAS, Councilmember Starr has tirelessly defended the taxpayers of Oxnard, California, notably by organizing citizen initiatives and securing a landmark $36.5 million legal judgment against the City to reverse illegal utility rate hikes and halt municipal overreach; and
WHEREAS, Starr has served as a principled, courageous voice on the Oxnard City Council, refusing to act as a “rubber stamp” for the political establishment and consistently voting to protect the liberties and livelihoods of his constituents; and
WHEREAS, political adversaries in Oxnard, unable to tolerate this principled dissent, have orchestrated coordinated attacks against Councilmember Starr, leveling baseless public accusations of a “hostile takeover” merely because he exercised his right to support and fundraise for like-minded, reform-oriented candidates; and
WHEREAS, these retaliatory measures have culminated in unwarranted threats of censure and a politically motivated recall effort designed solely to punish and silence a duly elected defender of fiscal responsibility; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee (LNC) categorically condemns the politically motivated attacks, smear campaigns, and recall efforts directed at Councilmember Aaron Starr by the Oxnard political establishment; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the LNC commends Aaron Starr for his unwavering political courage, his successful defense of taxpayers against illegal municipal fees, and his continued dedication to the cause of Liberty; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the LNC stands in full solidarity with Aaron Starr as he continues his fight for government transparency, fiscal restraint, and the individual rights of the people of Oxnard;
