National Committeeman

Congratulations to

Bart Dame

Aloha, Fellow Democrats!
I am writing to ask for your vote for National Committeeman. I am just completing my first term and have learned a lot about how the organization works and have built relationships that have already proven helpful to the Hawaii party.

What the DNC Does
The DNC meets twice a year in a meeting of about 500-600 people, including staff and media. The Hawaii delegation usually consists of the State Chair, Vice-Chair, National Committeewoman and Committeeman, plus the Executive Director. We operate as a team. Because there are so many meetings held simultaneously, we split up, learn what we can then meet up later to brief the others. Much of the workload falls upon the Chair and ED. I attend various meetings, but have focused especially on the Rules & Bylaws Cte of the DNC. I forged friendships with several key members of the RBC, which became helpful when our party sought to win approval from the RBC for our voting process in the presidential primary. Chair Kate Stanley asked me to explain our use of RCV to the RBC. Both the lead skeptic and the biggest supporter on the RBC are real world friends of mine. We were the first state party to win approval for RCV. MORE >>>
