Plans to Help Develop New Locals Through the Election Season

I'll offer myself to visit groups, as best we can mesh schedules,
and help support them through the founding/application process.
(I hope to have help in this, as in other things, from my
predecessors Kevin Henehan and Ken Young - but we haven't managed
to meet yet to discuss this.) I'd also like to look at the
updated member/contact lists, compare them with the campaign
opportunities available for local and/or statewide candidates,
and see if we can gather two or three (well, three at least) in
the name of Greendom.
 
 
Numbers of County and District Committees

I don't have an independent list on this.  I do know that at
least all counties for which there were caucuses held, and all
Congressional districts with candidates, should have committees.
As far as I can find at the moment (before the convention), these
are:

Congressional Districts

  4th Congressional District 
  5th Congressional District 
  9th Congressional District 
10th Congressional District 
11th Congressional District 

Counties

Benzie County 
Charlevoix County 
Clinton County 
Eaton County 
Genesee County 
Ingham County 
Kent County 
Lapeer County 
Muskegon County 
Oakland County 
Ottawa County 
Shiawassee County 
Tuscola County 
Washtenaw County 
Wayne County 

I ask for your help getting and keeping this list complete,
accurate, and up-to-date too.


General Comments

This report is incomplete at best - in large part because much of
my time and energy have been spent lately on an issue I'd hoped
would be resolved by now (the Marshall "Redskins"/recall flap).
That shouldn't last past August 17, when we have a special
election to fill the four recall-caused vacancies; while that
task won't be over then even if sanity prevails, I think things
will calm down at least somewhat electorally until next year.  So
I think I'll be able to do better next quarter . . . if you want
to keep me on.
