As an attorney, I have been honored to serve as your LCDEC Counsel and Defender. During my tenure as your Correspondence Secretary (2003-08), the postcards went out on time, meeting notification requirements were met, and rosters were up to date. Our members—and the voters we represented—knew what was going on. Remember the work Rick put into making this voter outreach happen--http://www.youtube.c

Now nobody accomplishes that alone. This group incorporates so much talent and passion that, even under difficult—at times utterly bizarre—circumstances, I’m very proud to work with you to ensure a better future for Leon County and for the Democratic Party. I understand, however, that without the proper resources, and without the order necessary to conduct meetings efficiently—it doesn’t matter how good you are—you won’t be in a position to successfully give your all for our President. That is unacceptable. During my many years as Vice-Chair and Chair of the Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency’s Citizen Advisory Committee, my Committee was able to advise on the annual spending of hundreds of millions of dollars, I never had a meeting run late, and nobody ever complained to me that they didn’t think their voice was heard. As Chair I will work to restore order, engineer the enhancement of the Committee’s public dignity, and optimally coordinate the talents of our most valuable resource—you. Today, I ask for your confidence and your vote.
