Team,
With Indiana voters casting their ballots on Tuesday, we should update you on our candidates’ pledged delegate count once again. Secretary Clinton has been allocated 1,716 pledged delegates, while Senator Sanders’ current pledged delegate count is 1,433. The magic number to secure the nomination can still be defined as 2,383 delegates. Patrice and the entire Party Affairs Team are diligently working to keep us informed as we continue to move through these contests. Oregon voters will be participating in their primary this upcoming Tuesday, but as was stated in the All Staff Meeting on Wednesday, the next delegate-rich primary day will not be until June 7, with contests in California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, and South Dakota.
During the All Staff Meeting, we also took a closer look at the framework for the Party’s messaging with an update from the Communications Department. This was nicely accompanied with our Surrogate Operations presentation, showcasing the tools we have implemented to cultivate messengers, or what we call “leads" at a grassroots level. All of this was capped with an overview of the communities we are honoring this month. Thank you to all of the teams who worked to show us something special at our May All Staff Meeting – I am excited to celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and Jewish American Heritage Month with you this May.
Additionally, I was kept very busy at the end of the week with Polish engagement events at the DNC, the White House, and on the Capitol. We are ramping up for outreach with many more ethnic and constituency groups in June. Stay tuned for our upcoming adventures in New York, New Jersey, and Pittsburgh (that city needs a little love with all the activity surrounding its neighboring DNCC host city).
As always, feel free to touch base with me by submitting your questions and comments to [email-masked].
All my best,
Amy
