Labor Party Convention - SPRING 2020 - Kalawao, Hawai'i

[Dr. MB]

You have until midnight for any more requests and then a vote will start.

[Dr. MB]

If I need to formally request this and if it's appropriate for this convention, would like an endorsement for my tentative candidacy for Lincoln Governor.
 If this should be done next convention, that's fine too.

I'll put in a request for a July Lincoln Council endorsement, if it needs to be for this vote, otherwise I'll wait for the next convention.

Don't request stuff for July and don't request if you're in the Labor Party

[Dr. MB]

Which of the following (if any) should be endorsed for House of Representatives?

[ ] Spiral
[ ] Ishan

72 hours

[Dr. MB]

Ishan gets 0 votes to endorse (doesn't matter anyway since he dropped out) and Spiral gets 4. 14 votes for none of the above (thanks to an unexpected turnout). So neither is endorsed.

This leaves the only Party-endorsed candidates as Elcaspar, Gracile, and SevenEleven (auto-endorsed as Labor Party members).

[Dr. MB]

Congratulations to all the Labor candidates who won this weekend!

[Dr. MB]

48 hours (well 52 I guess) to declare for Leadership positions. The election will be on next Wednesday and Thursday.

I’ll run for a second term as chair

[Dr. MB]

Nomination period's closed. Looks like nobody will go opposed. Well this makes it easy.

[Dr. MB]

Gonna hold the vote now. 72 hours to vote.

[Dr. MB]

Opening the 4-day period to request endorsements for July elections and also opening nominations for next convention city. Each party member can nominate 1 city and second another's nomination. Also it has to be in Lincoln (here's a map for reference):



I nominate Intercourse, Pennsylvania.

[Dr. MB]

I nominate Boston and second Portland.

I would also like to request the endorsement for Frémont Parliament, assuming members aren't auto-endorsed.

Labor members are auto endorsed actually.
