making history?
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never run
for office before, or never even considered
the possibility of becoming a
candidate. The job of delegate does not
require you to become a career politician.
It is a commitment of only several
months during which time you are
paid the same salary as a member of
the state Legislature: $79,500 per year.
If you are interested in being a delegate,
there’s no time to lose. As soon as we vote
“YES”, the race for all 204 seats will begin.
