SD64 concluded its biannual district convention on March 7th. Our volunteers did a magnificent job of making Central High School an inviting venue for this event. Thank you to everyone on all our convention committees who did so much work to pull this off. Bravo!

Some of the results from our convention on March 7th. 557 delegates attended the caucus and sent 26 delegates on to the state convention. For every delegate to the state convention we sent two to the county convention. Here’s how our state delegates were allocated.

The convention had 69 (!) subcaucuses, so this is a simplified depiction of the results. Be gentle! Everyone had great patience with the subcaucusing process.

We’re taking over SEIU Healthcare offices for an afternoon so we can blow through the whole data entry in one day. Pizza and drinks will be provided. All we need is you!
