I know you guys haven't heard from me in a while, but Jess and I have been trying to move the ball forward without much success.

Enclosed is our update:

Sanders:  I have been in touch with Sanders telling them we would like to work with them to schedule a DNC-sponsored debate.  Mark Longabaugh responded with the following last week:  "Erik, let me get with the team and discuss.  Thanks for reaching out.  Best, Mark"

Clinton:  Charlie told me the Clinton position is they will not participate in any debate without DNC sponsorship.  They want the May debate to be scheduled and coordinated by the DNC.  I have not shared that with Sanders camp yet, I'm waiting on them to come back after they discuss internally.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks,

Erik
