Two years ago, a bunch of California bloggers got together and decided to run for CDP delegate slots.  The expense involved and the relative pettiness of some of the obligations make it not everyone’s cup of tea, but the time of the AD elections is here again, and the deadline to file is December 31st at 12:00PM.

The application process is easy–you can apply online here.

The caucuses themselves take place the weekend of the 10th (on either the 10th or the 11th–you can find your caucus location and time here.

Use this thread as an open forum to announce your candidacy.  I’m running for re-election in the 42nd.

Well People it seems that results are still unavailable and won’t be available until after a Jan 22nd “Second Count” being conducted at State Party Offices in Sacramento.
I can’t make the trip there. This all sounds somewhat unusual, here is the message I received:

As you may know, the AD Election Meeting for AD 12 ran very long, and the space for the meeting had to be vacated before a 2nd count of the delegate ballots could be done.  We have all of the materials from the 12AD sent up to the Sacramento office of the California Democratic Party, and on Monday, Jan 22 at 5PM, we will start doing the second count of the ballots as well as evaluate the provisional ballots cast.

As a candidate for delegate in the 12th AD, you are able to attend and observe this process.  Our office is not very large, so please RSVP if you do plan on attending.  I do know that there were two major slates working this election, and representatives of each slate will be present to observe.  State Party staff and impartial volunteers will be the only ones actually handling the ballots.

The Sacramento office of the State Party office is at:

1401 21st Street, Suite 200 (2nd floor) – SE corner of 21st and N
Sacramento, CA  95814

I never got follow-up responses from the Convenor,Check-in Organizer or one of the Delegate Candidates. I may either call or e-mail Mr. Jordan to see if I can find out more as to what is happening here.
Thanks for your attention and patience!
