I tend to agree that there is absolutely no reason to postpone our election for the
National Election.
My opinion is that we need to get this taken care of as soon as possible and get the ball
rolling.

I appreciate your listening to the coordinators on this issue, Jason, and
letting us know. However, I don't see any valid reason for the three month
plus delay you have announced. I do know that our district representatives
on the Advisory Board are willing and able to conduct an election in short
order in such a way that it doesn't conflict in any fashion with the
National Election. It appears that we have fewer than 20 active
coordinators in the state right now. There are now 8 officially vacant
counties but a bunch more that are "de facto" vacant in that they are not
being worked on and have not had updates for years. Only about a third of
the counties with assigned coordinators appear to have been updated in the
last two years! In my opinion, we need to proceed with the election and
move forward with getting our state operating on all cylinders again. I also
know that some resignations (such as our most recent ASC) have occurred
because it's frustrating to work in a state where more responsiveness from
the leadership is badly needed. I encourage you to reconsider this delay.
If the problem relates to your time available to conduct an election, I can
assure you it can be done with very little involvement or time from you.
Our Advisory Board CC Representatives have assured me that they are
available to do the whole thing in short order.
