For the candidates recruiting, it is not just a matter of numbers, as the numbers also have a requirement to match several diversity factors. Information will be going out to the counties about seeking folks wanting to attend as nominating delegates. Delegates can be listed on a county slate as well as a candidate slate, but they can't be on more than one candidate's slate. Candidates will not know how many delegates they actually need until: 1) we know how many delegates CA is apportioned; 2) what proportion of the vote they get in the February primary. When contacting a candidate, provide the following information, your: Full name, phone, email, mailing address County of residence Gender (to allow gender balance): Racial/ethnic group (to allow racial diversity): Other under-represented group (LGBT, disabled, etc.) ____________________ BECOME A SUSTAINER FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO GREEN PARTY!
