Okay, thank you. We need to do whatever we can to tamp this down. I recognize that something will happen but they cannot leave this to the wind and let them run roughshod.

I spoke to Scott Arceneaux. He’ll lean on Kay for the state party to be more assertive in taking ownership over the fact that they’re happy to have the DNC
 there. Ryan is putting together points on her record as a progressive and what the DNC has been doing to strengthen state parties and build national infrastructure that he’ll get to Scott, and Scott to Kay, for them to talk positively about why she’s coming
 in advance. Also mentioned to him that Begich should introduce the Chair.

DWS - 

 

I spoke with Kay who is the Executive Director at the Alaska Democratic Party.  She cannot tell us what level of “enthusiasm” folks have on the ground but she has taken meetings with a few people who are of the “Trump-style” enthusiasm
 (aggressive and angry).    

There will be 550 people seated at the dinner.  Of those about 50 are expected to walk out. However, they do want to stay for dinner  so we are switching your slot in the speaking program from the end to during the dinner.  This adjustment
 will not be made public. 

 

There are no mags at the event and I have told them not to purchase any.  The event is barely breaking even and it will also be difficult to find them at the last minute.  The Mayor’s Office will be assigning an Officer to be with you.
  As you know this is pretty standard practice and I will make sure to speak with the Officer in advance about how you like to be staffed at events. 

 

The state party is aware that Shelby will be in the audience and that you will not be addressing any of the questions from the letter.  The Chair of the party in her opening remarks will make sure to tell everyone that this is a civil event
 and that they are looking forward to hearing about the national Democratic work happening to support whoever will be the nominee.  Signs have also been banned from the event. 

 

Please let me know if you want additional follow up. 

 

Thank you,

 

Kate
