Joseph Darcy Bishop-Henchman[5] (né Henchman; born January 4, 1981)[3][6] is an American attorney and politician. As of August 2022, Bishop-Henchman has served as executive vice president of the National Taxpayers Union.[7]
Bishop-Henchman was the 20th chair of the Libertarian National Committee, the governing body of the Libertarian Party, from July 11, 2020 until his resignation on June 19, 2021.[8][9] Bishop-Henchman resigned after the Libertarian National Committee declined to disaffiliate the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire, which had made a series of controversial tweets, including calling for the legalization of child labor and the repeal of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.[10][11][12] In his resignation letter, Bishop-Henchman wrote of "toxic" elements "taking over the party and making it as repulsive as possible to everyone except themselves", in reference to the Mises Caucus, a paleolibertarian faction within the party.[13]
Bishop-Henchman had previously served as chair of the Libertarian Party of the District of Columbia from June 19, 2018 until February 27, 2021.[14][15]
As of 2023, Bishop-Henchman resides in Washington, DC with his husband, Ethan, an ordained deacon for The Episcopal Diocese of Washington. On January 2, Bishop-Henchman was sworn-in as Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner (ANC) representing Eckington District 5F06, resulting from his November 2022 electoral victory.[16]
