Good morning / afternoon / evening!
I am at the #Endorsement #meeting for our local #lgbtq+ #caucus.
Right now, a mile-long line of #candidates are getting 30 seconds to speak. We started at the top of the hour.
I served on the #screening #committee. The committee screened over 100 candidates.
When the proceedings open, the first motion will be to close credentialing. The second will be to accept the #recommendations of our committee.

Last candidate just spoke.
Now #event sponsors get an entire minute.

We are done.
We considered one hundred candidates. In most cases, the body accepted the recommendations of the screeners.
The takeaway is that candidates who don't engage with us cannot expect to earn our endorsement.
Some candidates who earned our endorsement in the primary failed to respond when asked whether they wanted to re-screen or be considered with the questionnaire and scores from the primary. They had three chances and didn't respond.

These were top of the ticket candidates.
The new screening chair gave them the grace to be considered despite their lack of engagement. The body voted to endorse them, but this was a wakeup call.
