<p>All,<br>
</p>
<p>After discussing the matter with several other people today
following my motion withdrawal, I am introducing a new motion as
the withdrawal was a bit too rash and sudden.</p>
<p>1) Motion to appoint Jim Humay as Deputy Director - Chicago and
Cook/DuPage County of the Political Division.</p>
<p>RATIONALE: The Political Division guide, as amended in 2022, does
allow for the consideration of dividing up deputy directorships,
as well as candidate recruitment directorships, by region.</p>
<p>I think Jim has a lot to prove and has the potential given his
political resume. Despite his caucus affiliations, it would
benefit this party significantly. But given the leviathan that is
Chicago and Cook/DuPage County, that's enough of a battle for one
person, moreorless assisting in matters across the entire Land of
Lincoln. He would be best equipped to helping our largest
established county in the state and the largest city in the state.
Should DuPage County become an established county, Jim can carry
on those responsibilities to that county as well.<br>
</p>
<p>My remarks in my initial rationale still applies.</p>
<p><b>NOTE</b> (but doesn't need to be in motion): I may have
accidentally misconstrued some prior communications of support in
the past 48 hours as concern, and I have been called out on that
following my initial withdrawal. That's on me. That's my fault,
and I deeply regret that.<br>

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