<p>All,</p>
<p>Due to a previously planned event as a member of the media, I will not be able to attend the meeting Tuesday night.</p>
<p>Attached -- both in Word and PDF format -- is my Political Division report for the month.</p>
<p>Some things of importance:</p>
<ul>
<li>There are two names that still need removal from the Elected Officials page: Jasen Howard and John Prentice.</li>
<li>Jim Humay contacted me recently about filling the vacancy for Deputy Director. Most of you know I struggled with filling the division in my last tenure as Political Director, so this was appreciated. As the position has voting rights, as set in the updated Political Division manual submitted during the Suess administration, it would require approval by the Board. However, considering that it was too late to make it a motion this month, I will present a motion next month for Jim Humay to fill the vacancy for Deputy Director of the Political Division.</li>
<li>Please contact me if there are any additional candidates that I need to include other than what I have listed in the report for this consolidated cycle. This would likely include write-in candidates that either failed to or was unable to submit their intent paperwork to run as a write-in candidate.</li>
<li>As always, reach out to the members of your local chapters -- especially in our eight established counties -- about potential candidacies in 2024. The more candidates we have at the local level to support whoever the 2024 presidential nominee may be, the better. Cook County will be a serious battleground, especially with the Congressional and General Assembly districts that are exclusively within the county. There's maybe one or two districts in the Illinois House that may also be the case in Peoria County. Petitioning for the primaries will be coming quicker than you think!</li>
</ul>
