Just wanted to circle back with folks.

The updated schedule has come out and Mayor Lee would like to hold this
event from 8:30am - 9:15am. He would hold it at the hotel across from the
conference site. Mayor Lee would extend the invite to every Democratic
Mayor in attendance (current and former).

If everyone is okay with this we just need to do the following:

1. Make sure HRC is okay with this plan
2. Tell Cochran that we aren't going to address the bipartisan body due to
scheduling conflict

Would love to lock this in tomorrow AM if possible.

Thanks,

Brynne
