[candidate-development] Report of CDLC to State Committee

[Yarden]

I have received no further report from Jamie concerning the ongoing  
State committee meeting.

I am therefore delaying submitting the Report from the CDLC members  
who have been meeting over and reviewing the selection of delegates  
from those members of the GRP who have volunteered to directly to the  
CDLC, until tomorrow morning.  Meanwhile, the outreach to complete our  
delegation is proceeding and should be of help in achieving our  
diversity and gender parity goals.

It will become easier to know how successful we are in this respect,  
once the McKinney campaign has submitted
its list of delegates and alternates to the Administrative Committee.   
The lists of the other campaigns are complete and can be studied.  The  
absence of the Mckinney list, that should have been submitted to the  
Administrative Committee by June 11th at the latest, remains  
unavailable.  This hampers the outreach for additional volunteers to  
allow for selection, because it sets up a falsely competitive  
situation between those committed to the completeness of the GRP  
delegation, and those committed to securing the largest possible  
number of delegates for the McKinney campaign in an effort  to secure  
a majority of the delegates before the convention opens.  The  
continuing attempts to nullify the results of our primary, on the part  
of anyone, for whatever motives, is severely damaging to our standing  
as an electoral party.  Even more damaging is the attempt to run  
parallel campaigns for delegates without regard to the election.
