Taos County Democratic Precinct Meetings
(Editor’s Note: Will the once and future king of school board elections, pictured, Â make a comeback as local democratic party boss? We’re only asking. Knight, thanks to a pic from Cultural Energy.org is shown below during prosperous times.)
Justin Bailey  encourages everyone to attend precinct meetings for the Taos Democratic Party and submitted the press release below.
What: TAOS COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY PRECINCT MEETINGS
Where: At your precinct (see attached list below)
When: Thursday, March 24th–Registration starts at 5:30, meeting starts at 6 p.m.
Who: Bring a few friends from your precinct and get elected to the County Central Committee.
Why: To maintain and expand local political infrastructure–networking and relationship-building–recruit fresh faces into local activism.
If you don’t know what precinct you are in, look it up on your voter card or call elections clerk Anna Martinez at 737-6400 and she can tell you.
Here’s how it works:
At each precinct meeting on March 24 there is an election. Attendees who are registered to vote in that precinct elect a precinct chair and members of the county central committee of the democratic party. Then on Saturday, March 26th, at the County Convention, members of the county central committee elect a county chair, vice chair, and members of the State Central Committee. The State Central Committee (SCC) is the governing body of the Democratic Party of New Mexico. Twice a year, SCC members meet to vote on rules, platform issues, etc. SCC members elect a State Chair of the party, and we also elect DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE members. Therefore, the way the the DNC starts at your precinct meeting!
Anyway, Keeping it brief: here is the info on the
2011 TAOS COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY CONVENTION
Guest Speaker: The Honorable State Auditor and political superstar HECTOR BALDERAS
Saturday, March 26th
Kachina Lodge Meeting Hall
Registration starts at 10:30, and the meeting starts no earlier than 11 a.m.
Hector Balderas recently recently received the New Frontier Award from the Kennedy Library at the JFK School for Government, which recognizes Hector as one of the most promising young leaders in the U.S.
Raised in poverty in tiny Wagon Mound, NM, Hector put himself through college and law school, and became a prosecutor in Albuquerque. At the age of 31, Hector returned to Wagon Mound to run for office. In his first term as a State Representative, he was recognized as the best new legislator in NM. After one term as a state representative, he stunned the political establishment by getting elected State Auditor at age 33. Since then, his record of uncovering fraud and fighting corruption is unparalleled in New Mexico.
