In a letter that we received in the afternoon of September 20, Trendalyn Hallesey wrote the LNC:
Dear Chair Nakhaila and Members of the LNC,
Effective immediately, I hereby resign from my position on the Libertarian National Committee.
It has become abundantly clear to me that the current state of dysfunction within the Committee is beyond repair under existing leadership and structure. I have made repeated efforts to contribute constructively, advocate for transparency, and serve the party with integrity. Unfortunately, those efforts have been continually undermined by a culture that tolerates chaos, ignores accountability, and prioritizes internal politics over principle.
I cannot in good conscience continue to participate in a body that no longer functions in service of its mission or its members.
I wish the party and its members the best in finding a path forward.
Sincerely,
Trendalyn Hallesy
Region 4 Alternate
McArdle produced a screenshot showing Meredith Hays promised her confidentiality like McArdle was her client and even called it “quasi-attorney client privilege.” That is a severe breach of good judgment and fiduciary duty to the LNC. If Meredith was part of SIC that would have been HUGE. Fortunately she was not but that act alone should result her immediate resignation. If not, she should be asked to resign. If she were At Large that would easily be cause for removal.
Trendalyn was a good one. She will be missed.
If the Chair had backbone once that screenshot came out Hays should have been asked to resign. CA right now should ask her to as it is a distraction in the McArdle appeal.
