Please note: all DNC National Officer candidates will be presenting in separate forums; the above represents the current timing we’ve allotted to each.
donna brazile? what is she going to talk about. what a good christian woman she is? or how she infuriated sanders supporters by giving debate questions to clinton campaign.
Why don’t you drag yourself to the forum and ask her yourself, troll-boy.
I would like to go if it were not in Phoenix.
To the DNC candidates for Chair. On transparency in DNC State Chair selection:
Flagstaff resident new to DNC procedures wants to know how positions are filled.
Who can vote?
Why is there no information on DNC websites about how to participate?
I would like to propose candidates and can not get information online, why not?
I have had some links to this event posted in the weekly calendar for several weeks. Here is the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE OFFICER ELECTIONS FAQ, https://democrats.org/page/democratic-national-committee-officer-elections-faq
And here is an explainer from Vox.com, “How the DNC chair election works,” http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/11/23/13703720/dnc-chair-election-rules-members
I hope this helps.
