*NV Dems Announce Delegation Chair, Standing Committee Members for DNC
Convention*

*Las Vegas, NV* – The Nevada State Democratic Party announced today that
U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada was elected to serve as
the Nevada Delegation Chair for the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
The State Party also announced that Clark County Commissioner Chris
Giunchigliani, Christine Kramar and Alfonso Lopez were elected to serve on
the three standing convention committees. Nevada State Democratic Party
Chair Roberta Lange appointed Julia Standish and Rudy Zamora to serve as
Pages to assist the Nevada Delegation.

*Convention Committee Assignments*

   - Rules: Clark County Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani (Clinton)
   - Platform: Christine Kramar (Sanders)
   - Credentials: Alfonso Lopez (Clinton)

*Convention Pages*

   - Julia Standish
   - Rudy Zamora

*Background:*

The 2016 Democratic National Convention will take place July 25-28 in
Philadelphia, where Delegates will formally elect the Democratic Party’s
2016 nominee for President.

Overall, Nevada will send 43 Delegates to the Convention, including eight
Unpledged PLEO Delegates. Nevada’s 23 District-Level Delegates are
allocated based on the percentage of the precinct caucus vote on February
20. Hillary Clinton won 13 of these, compared to 10 for Bernie Sanders. The
seven At-Large and five Pledged Party Leader and Elected Official (PLEO)
Delegates are determined based on the State Convention results. Because
Clinton had a majority of Delegates at the State Convention, she carried
the At-Large Delegates 4–3 and the Pledged PLEO Delegates 3–2. Clinton
therefore earned 20 Pledged Delegates and Sanders earned 15 Pledged
Delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
