About The Guest: Kimberly Ruff is a Libertarian Party activist. She established the Niagara County Libertarian Party in 2015, following a previously proposed western New York chapter. Kim was a Member of the LPNY Media and Communications Committee. At the same time she graduated from ASU, she began volunteering with the Arizona and Maricopa County Libertarian Parties. Her first assignments were to solicit content, layout, edit, and disburse their now-defunct AZLP newsletter, an experience that brought her into contact with quite a few wonderful political minds in both Arizona and nationally, including Libertarian Party co-founder, David Nolan. From there, she worked as the Campaign Manager for Nick Coons, Congressional Candidate for CD9 in his bid to unseat the Democratic incumbent, Harry Mitchell, and co-hosting Liberty on the Rocksโ Phoenix Chapter from 2010 โ 2012. , she reached out to the Libertarian Party of New York and immediately set to work on networking with fellow Libertarians in her country to establish, with the aid of the LPNY and Erie County Libertarian Party founder, Ed Garrett, the Niagara County Libertarian Party in 2015, participating in the Communications and Bylaws Committees in the run-up to their 2016 State Convention, and getting tapped to be a delegate for NY at the 2016 National Convention. 2017 was a somewhat quiet year, as she changed careers to work as an Operations Director for a custom metal and plastic fabrication plant in Phoenix and focused her energy on that, but she continued to participate โ albeit minimally โ as a member of the LP Bylaws Committee leading up to their 2018 National Convention. Schedule and finances precluded her participation in the National Convention, but hearing how wonderful the experience was for so many of her beloved friends and colleagues, Kim immediately returned to her role as Arizona State Coordinator for the LPRC and was elected Vice Chair of the same caucus that June.
