Incentive for County Parties to Run Candidates in ALL Districts

By: Matthew Munson, San Bernardino County

2.01.01

Section B

Under number 9)

H) 1 delegate is awarded to county parties that contain at least five electoral districts, have all their state legislative and congressional districts run with candidates in all the elective districts that are in their county during the Top 2 primary election as a ballot qualified candidate not as a write-in.

It used to be four in my other version, but the state party leadership is squeamish about adding an increased number of delegates. The main factor is to make sure counties such as Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Orange have candidates running in all their districts.

Section 2.01.01
Delegates

(C) Amending of delegate eligibility rules
(1) Any changes to delegate membership eligibility in the bylaws shall be for the following even year election where retroactive changes shall be prohibited. Policy changes to eligibility must be made during the convention before or after the even year election to be in effect. 

#3

An amendment to fix the oversight due to the proposal to strip write-in candidates from getting delegate appointments if they lose the Top 2 primary.

By Matthew Munson, San Bernardino County.

If the county party refuses to find a candidate or encourages someone to run, they do not deserve the spoils.

2.01.05.C

(2)

For a vacancy in the office of a nominee for the Member of the State Senate,

Member of the State Assembly or Member of the United States House of

Representatives, the vacancy shall be filled by the election of the

Republican County Central Committee that has the largest number of

registered Republicans within the respective Senate, Assembly or

Congressional District of any county that contains a portion of the district.

An election to fill the vacancy shall be held not later than 60 days after

notice of the vacancy is sent by the Committee to the appropriate

Republican County Central Committee or Committees. A vacancy in such

office shall be filled only by a person who is a registered Republican voter

within the Senate, Assembly or Congressional district to be represented.

Any district that did not have a ballot qualified Republican as Top Republican nominee after the general election, which leads to a vacancy for the appointment. This appointment is declared null for the rest of the term unless there is a special election.
