As political director he spearheaded multiple efforts, from getting Bob Barr defeated in his re-election bid in 2002, attended protests, organized campus organizations, to providing a Libertarian Party presence at multiple anti-War on Drugs events.

He also was involved with various partisan and non-partisan groups and organizations, such as the Committee for Libertarian Majority and The November Coalition.

His opposition to the War on Drugs was his signature issue. An issue that public opinion has largely finished turning towards the libertarian perspective on.
