<div dir="ltr">I think the biggest thing to remember is what the chair does. I really like Josh, but he would make a bad chair, for the same things I like him for. <br><br>The Chair is the Chairman of the committee. Their job is to run the meeting and keep things moving productively. They are the 'leader' but they are supposed to be more the manager of the committee who is the real power. <br><br>The best analogy for this is a Captain and the crew. The crew makes the ship work, the captain merely steers it. But when the Captain gives and 'order' who does he give it to? Not the crew, but the first mate. THAT is the person to runs around making sure everything is getting done and is reporting to the captain. <br><br>Nick understands how to be a Captain. Josh would make an amazing first mate. Josh would be an excellent person to be going around keeping up with the committees, whipping up votes and support, proposing measures... all things the Chair would/should never directly do. <br><br>Chairs ask "I would like to hear a motion on X", not "I would like to make a motion on X" <br><br>Personal note, I do not want a Chairman under the Trump administration to have the high-and-tight-haircut. Just like the mini-stasche, the look has been ruined by nazi's. I already can hear the late night comedians punchlines tearing at the party for getting a Richard Spencer look a like to be our spokesperson. For the love of god change your hair style sir. I do not need more fuels to a fire we spend way too much time putting out thanks to other individuals that want to associate with the party. Hell, I should run for Chair just under the platform: hire a PR manager. This is politics, optics are 90% of the game. Stop making it worse. <br><br><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 19, 2018 at 1:26 PM, Ryan Graham via Lpganationaldelegates2018 <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lpganationaldelegates2018@lpmail.lp.org" target="_blank">lpganationaldelegates2018@lpmail.lp.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Georgia,Palatino,serif">

<p>We have just come off spending over $20,000 on ballot access in the form of filing fees for our candidates. That wasn't money from the LNC. Seems like a good "first step" to me.</p>

<p>I'm honestly not sure what to think regarding the chair candidates at this point. I think Sarwark has done a great job and has a good mindset for it. Josh provides a little more energy behind the position. I'm sort of waiting for the debate to decide what to think.</p>
<p>It's worth noting that no help on ballot access has been forthcoming as of yet. From either candidate.</p>
