July 31, 2009 — has received the personal endorsement of 2008 Vice-Presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party, Wayne Allen Root.

Following is the text of his endorsement:
After talking extensively with Sean Kalin Stipe at the Libertarian Party Conference in April, 2009, I am convinced he is the last best hope for real leadership in Lorain. Kalin has the game plan that will return Lorain to a thriving city and a safe place to raise your family. I have met many candidates across America that seek change in their cities and towns by campaigning on the Libertarian ideals of responsibility, tolerance, and prosperity. A vote for Kalin Stipe in November is a vote for each of these ideals and a giant step toward restoring Lorain. For the sake of Lorain's
future, I enthusiastically endorse Sean Kalin Stipe's campaign for Lorain City Council At-Large.
