<p>The Political Division is calling for the following agenda item
for our upcoming meeting on Tuesday, March 21:</p>
<p>1) Motion to appoint Jim Humay as Deputy Director of the
Political Division.</p>
<p><b>RATIONALE</b>: It is no secret that I've had difficulty
getting volunteers since then-Chair Bennett Morris appointed me
to the role in an interim capacity in early November 2019 before
the Board of Directors unanimously approved my official
appointment a couple of weeks later. I lost the majority of the
division during the transition, losing pretty much everyone with
the exception of Kevin Kauzlaric at the time, as Kevin and I
were essentially running the division without the active
presence of a divisional director for roughly 18 months.</p>
<p>Then, for understandable reasons, Kevin had to step down. For
the majority of my first tenure as Political Director, the
Division was pretty much run by Campaigns Director Jon King (at
least for part of it) and Ballot Access Director Bill Redpath
outside of myself.</p>
<p>The fact that Jim reached out to me on February 20 meant
something. This is the third time in both of my tenures as PD
combined that someone has actually reached out to me about
helping out in the division (including the short time that I had
Bennett as Legislative Director, which was definitely
appreciated at the time).<br>
</p>
<p>I need to make up for lost time in the Division and having a
Deputy Director will help ensure that I can finish some
unfinished business that will better equip our candidates moving
forward, not only local but also statewide. We have eight
established counties going into the 2024 election cycle, four of
which we would really need to retain our status in this cycle
due to not running countywide candidates in those counties in
2022. We also have Congressional races exclusively within Cook
County, as well as General Assembly races where districts are
exclusively within Cook and Peoria counties to focus on, on top
of our lone statewide ballot campaign for the presidential race.<br>
