Spoke to Huma and Podesta and they suggested we reach out to Ed Lee and ask
if he thinks its feasible for him to put together something informal in a
restaurant in the hotel that the conference is taking place or close by to
just host a coffee for folks to stop by at and say hello before the
fundraiser.

We have a call into Lee’s team. Will let you know what he says. He may tell
us it will be too difficult.

FYI Lottie Shackleford just called me and said the Mayor of Little Rock is
asking her if she's going to stop by

Have we decided what we're doing yet?  Huma?

Politically we will get hit from some mayors on this but I personally think
it'll be fine. And not many mayors are super delegates, otherwise I would
feel differently

As Brynne would say -- bumping to the top for a final decision.

Logistically, this doesn't work unless we really went out of our way to
rearrange the schedule.

At the end of a very long week for her.

My understanding is that in the morning she would disrupt the bipartisan
events and upset some of our Democratic mayors. And, it's not possible for
her to come back Sunday early evening.   So, it doesn't feel like we have
much of a choice but to regret.... Unless I'm missing something?

I am fine with regretting. What does everyone else think?  They are pinging
us wanting to know if she's coming

I wanted to put us on an email regarding the U.S. Conference of Mayors
invitation HRC received. Last night we decided that we would regret on
behalf of HRC on Saturday but would have Amanda attend the Democratic
Mayors event on Sunday that O’Malley is attending.

Before Lona gives the final regret I want to make sure that folks are still
okay with us regretting. We were trying to figure out a time for HRC to
stop by before her fundraiser but the only options available have her doing
something separate while many Democratic Mayors are holding task force
meetings or addressing the full Bipartisan body.

If Cochran is upset by this decision do we even want to consider trying to
do something on the backend (which would cause her to be late to Seatlle)?
If not, do we want HRC to attend on Sunday?

If everyone is fine moving forward with the original plan – regretting this
event for HRC and having Amanda go on Monday – please let me know.

Thanks,

Brynne
