Virginia-based Liberty Karaoke Paves Path for Rand Paul Announcement

Arlington/Falls Church Young Republican Chairman Matthew Hurtt has laid a national foundation for Rand Paul’s presidential candidacy announcement, scheduled for tomorrow. That foundation? Karaoke. This from Rare on March 27th.

“Weekly karaoke started unofficially about five years ago as an opportunity for DC-area liberty activists to just get together and have fun,” Hurtt told Rare. “When people came into town for conferences, we’d host them there and show them a good night out.”

But then Hurtt saw these events as a wonderful opportunity to seize on grassroots support for libertarian candidates, most notably events for Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), and candidate Igor Birman, who ran for California’s District 7 in 2014.

“When I saw Senator Paul was planning to make an announcement on a Tuesday, I knew we could hold another karaoke event,” Hurtt explained. “Using an extensive network of pro-liberty activists, we started asking friends in other cities to host their own, and there are some that are coming in organically,” he said. “Some people have ‘heard about’ it in DC and want recreate that where they live. There’s a lot of excitement among people on the ground.” “It’s very encouraging,” Hurtt added.

We asked Hurtt why so many youth flock to Sen. Paul, like they did his father, as opposed to other candidates on the right?

“I think young people are looking for someone they can relate to,” Hurtt told Rare. “Someone who is talking about issues that are important to us, and someone who actually does what they say they believe.”

But is this any different than Ron Paul’s two Republican presidential runs?

“I think Rand is building an even broader coalition of voters and supporters, while still tapping into the youth vote. If he gets the nomination, I believe he’ll be the first Republican since 1988 with a real opportunity to capture the youth vote.”

Hurtt hopes that the popularity of Liberty Karaoke will continue to spread, spawning more events across the country and hopefully aiding Paul in his expected bid for the White House.

Mission accomplished. There are currently events scheduled across the country in more than 60 cities, and the events have garnered national attention from The Hill, Chicago-Sun Times, Turning Point, and Washington Post all giving Hurtt’s creation some love.

Tomorrow, Rand Paul will throw his hat in the ring, with nationwide events thanks to a liberty-minded Virginian.
