Why Are You Running for the Position of State Committeeman?

I'm running for State Committeeman because we as a community are victimized year after year by the inept behavior and false promises by a failed leadership. We demand strict accountability and an outside audit of all expenditures. And moving forward we will demand a strict division of funding and resources based on an apportionment of the voting citizenry.
It always comes down to how much each vote costs in an election cycle. Not what we pay for the vote but what we spend to obtain the vote. I.e. we have the voter file, we should determine how much our budget is and divide that number by each vote. Then divide the votes into demographics based on an ethnic constituency count. At that point we will fairly let the chips fall where they may. We should allow our clubs and causes and District Leaders to make decisions about spending based on their proportionality of voters within their bases. That way those who have worked to organize for four years have the opportunity to put their built organizations to work. I want to be a catalyst for successful change; an ombudsman to bring all facets of the party together, Clubs & Caucuses, Blacks & Whites, Hispanics & Haitians, Jews & Muslims, Asians & Caribbean's, haves and have nots. Short and Tall democrats alike.
