The 46th District Democrats (Julie Anne Kempf, chair) are inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
Future Meetings:
April 22*, 2020 7:00pm Zoom meeting: Official April Monthly Business Meeting
(Please note, this is a date change for this month. We bumped the April meeting out one more week, as we had inadvertently scheduled it for the last night of Passover. Our apologies to our Jewish community members!)
The major item we have on the agenda for voting purposes is discussion and voting on the endorsement rules for 2020, which is continuing business from the February meeting.
Our Rules committee chair and the primary sponsor of the amendments under consideration are hard at work to put together explanatory materials so that the progression through the discussion and votes will be smooth and collegial for all. We will publish these documents several days in advance of the meeting.
Also, there is no vote attached, but we will have an explanation and discussion of how the LD and CD caucuses will be conducted in a virtual environment.
We will publish the Zoom meeting link immediately following this Wednesday's "Conversation with Our Congress Members online gathering" via email, and will also post it on the 46th District Democrats' web page at the same time.
We are posting one Zoom meeting link at a time each week, as soon as the previous meeting is over, to prevent confusion.
Legislative District State Delegate Selection Process:
We should also note that the in-person Legislative District caucus scheduled for April 26th, has been moved entirely online. Due to COVID-19, There will be no in-person LD Caucuses for this year.
