Yes, Scott and I had a great conversation last week. He mentioned that they
had shifted their focus – what they were going to talk about – wasn’t going
to be about 2016 but more about future/re-districting. They said there
would be another opportunity for H4A to present but said if John were
available they would still love him because of his breadth of knowledge.

Hi Milia and Brynne--just spoke with John. Relooping him at his request. I
think where this was left at the middle of last week was that we offered
Teddy, they declined (per traffic below citing the planning committee's
desire to focus the June 9 lunch on redistricting), and Brynne, you reached
out to express willingness to work with them to find someone
else/emphasized how important HFA presence was at this event. Did Scott
ever respond? John would like to know where we're at from there.

The Hill meetings next week are cancelled, yes? Does that free up Amanda or
Marlon to go? Feel free to loop whoever we need but John wants to make sure
we've exhausted all options before giving up.

Thanks!

SHORT FUSE: Brynne, per our conversation yesterday see the below response
from Scott. What do you think? Should we try to get someone from the
campaign there or just let it slide? Happy to respond however and loop you
(or anyone else) below.

Just let me know.

Milia

Milla:

Thanks for all of your help on this.  It looks like we are going to have a
different focus at our lunch session on June 9th.  Thank you for trying to
find us a good fit, but our planning committee would like to focus on
issues around redistricting.

Thanks!

Teddy Goff our chief digital strategist. He's fantastic-- has been
representing the campaign around the country. He's young energetic and
really engaging with crowds.

Actually, we found a senior staffer who likely can.  Standby.  Milia, will
you make sure they reach out to Scott ASAP?

Hi Scott--unfortunately no.  Pretty much all the senior staff HAS to be in
DC that day, which is weird and hasn't happened before!  Trying to see if
we can get you a different surrogate.  Anyone you're interested in?  John
is obviously ready to endorse that they take this speaking engagement!

Thanks,

Hi Scott--

Turns out John and Amanda need to be in DC on June 9 due to, actually,
obligations with Hillary Clinton!  But we're looking into whether they have
any wiggle room, or if someone else from the campagin like Marlon Marshall
can make it.

Will keep you posted.

Thanks,

Eryn

Hi Scott--nope.  Soonest he'll make a decision is on Friday.  It would be
really hard for him to get there, but it's not impossible, so we're giving
him the option.

Ok thanks! Not sure if legally we'd have to. Always worth the ask.

Thanks Scott. Confirming receipt. Forwarded on to Amanda and her team as
well for consideration.

John has a late dinner speech the night before so I'm not optimistic about
this but still worth considering.

The intention is that the campaign pay for travel?

Thanks!

Mr. Podesta:

*Gara LaMarche suggested I invite you to be a featured speaker at the
Committee on States 8th Annual Conference on June 9th during our noon lunch
session. *

Committee on States is a national network of state based progressive donors
that grew out of the national Democracy Alliance.  In 2014, our state
investors added over $60 million in investments in both infrastructure and
electoral efforts.  Those outlays allowed us to provide better planning,
strategic vision, and accountability with all of the various partner
organizations.  It is our goal to grow this investment strategy to $100
million by 2020.

In most of the 24 states within our network, Democracy Alliance donors
serve in leadership capacities; however the state based network includes
many more state focused donors that do not always participate at the
national level.

The Committee on States conference in Minneapolis should provide you an
excellent opportunity to set out the 2016 vision for the HRC campaign.  It
will also allow our state networks to proceed with a better understanding
of the structure and strategy of your effort.  Our conferences typically
include over 150 of the top national state based funders and activists and
are closed to the media. Enclosed is a draft agenda.

*Erin Egan, the director of our Colorado effort, took part in the
Hillstarter meeting in Denver and Boulder on Monday.  She said that you and
Amanda Renteria had a fabulous message that would be beneficial for our
members to hear.  We are hoping that you and possibly Amanda could join
us.  We are very flexible on the set up for this session.*
