Photos: 2018 Young Americans for Liberty National Convention ft. Ron Paul, Rand, Massie, Amash

[Gage]

Earlier this past month I had the opportunity to photograph the 2018 Young Americans for Liberty National Convention, my sixth national convention in a row, as the official photographer for the event. This year's speakers included Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Justin Amash, Thomas Massie, Judge Napolitano, Kennedy, John Stossel and various liberty legislators from throughout the country. This was YAL's largest conference thus far, accepting more than 450 students to attend the annual gathering. Here are some photos from throughout the conference, many more can be found here: https://flic.kr/s/aHskCNq3QD

Young Americans for Liberty's national convention has always been one of the most enthusiastic political events that I've been able to attend, and it is great to see that the organization is still going strong with its newest project, Operation Win at the Door. U.S. Senate candidate Eric Brakey also made a surprise appearance at the conference, and there were also various trainings held throughout the multi-day event in order to better allow students to recruit members to join YAL on their local campuses.

On a related note, I recently joined Patreon and really want to get it off the ground. If anyone would like to support my work and further advance my Creative Commons photography, you can do so at this link: http://patreon.com/gageskidmore

Kennedy has been failing so hard lately it's hard to support her.

Wow, Ron Paul looks great. I know he won't, but I'd be all-in if he made another run!
