With Eric at PorcFest this week, please enjoy his talk from PorcFest 2024 about his journey from neoconservative to libertarian activist, sparked by Ron Paul's influence. He recounts his transformation from a war-supporting teenager to a key player in the Ron Paul Revolution, including his leadership in the dramatic takeover of the 2012 Maine Republican Convention. Brakey describes how that experience set him on a path through state politics, federal campaigns, and ultimately to his new role as Executive Director of the Free State Project. He emphasizes the success of New Hampshire's liberty movement in pushing back statism and building a true free state. His speech ends on a hopeful note, declaring that the torch of liberty now burns brightest in New Hampshire.
