what does an assembly district delegate actually do anyway?

seriously considering running for my district right now

quote:

ADDs are responsible for planning and attending informational meetings throughout the region and working with other delegates to represent their community. They are also elected by voters in their district to vote on behalf of the community they represent at Regional Meetings, the California Democrats Convention, and those who are also elected to serve as an Executive Board member are responsible for voting and representing their community at the semi-annual E-Board meetings.

seems like you get auto-invited to local democrat meetings in addition to going to the two or three statewide party conferences

Also, any idea what the E-Board (Executive Board, presumably) does relative to the regular delegates?

iirc you get to go to one more state party convention

So our state political race just got heated! My fiancee decided to run for chair of the Michigan disability caucus, because as it stands they only have about 40 members and hold no meetings and she is very passionate about making it an actual force in Michigan politics. A few weeks ago we found out there is at least one competitor for the job. A very passionate guy with hydrocephaly who also may be very mentally disabled we aren't quite sure. His emails and social media account would lend credence to this, but apparently he found out earlier today that there was no way him and my fiancee could be "co-chairs", so he will have to actually campaign for the position. This led to a phone call where he very eloquently accused my fiancee of stabbing our district chair in the back, basically accused her of being a political opportunist, And tried to convince her that if she ran it would ruin her reputation in the party. We then found out he used similar tactics when he ran for chair of his cities democratic club, and saw that he posted all over Facebook about people who "throw other people under the bus and harm party unity."

So... how the hell do you hit back at a seriously disabled guy who may not even have a firm grasp on reality at times?

just ignore him and present a sane face to the caucus members

I just looked that other guy up. He seems to be really into toy cars and comic sans.

seems like he'll torpedo his own attempt
