Glen Maxey's BOR post 4/04/08Wanna Go to Denver? Here's a Roadmap! As delegate lists from the County and Senate Conventions make their way to the Texas Democratic Party, people are getting ready to compete to be the warm bodies in those highly coveted seats in Denver.
Here's the handy guide to everything you need to know.
First,
you must apply after April 21, 2008 to declare your candidacy by downloading the application form from the Texas Democratic Party site, filling it out, getting it notarized and delivering it to the TDP between April 21st and May 21st at 5:00 pm. Do not send it BEFORE the start or you'll have to do it all over again. They won't be returning them for re-submission, so do it right the first time. Coming in early could get yours disqualified just as coming in late would.
A point about the form:There are three types of Delegates for which a person can run. Everyone should check the first and third category because everyone qualifies for them.
The first category is
"Pledged Senatorial District" for election by your fellow Clinton or Obama folks in your Senate District. These are the 126 delegates allocated by the primary. More about this later in this post.
The second category is for
25 Pledged Party/Elected Officials. The division of Obama/Clinton in this group will be allocated by the sign-in at the State Convention.
The Nominations Committee considers elected officials who have applied in this order: Democratic mayors (even if elected non-partisan) in cities over 250,000. State legislators, then other state and local Democratic officials (these must be elected in a partisan election).
Glen rocks! :applause::applause::applause:
