Democratic leaders pitch new rules for state conventions

Democratic Party leaders are pitching new rules for state conventions after chaos in Nevada last weekend, Politico reported Friday.  Association of State Democratic Chairs leader Raymond Buckley of New Hampshire addressed concerns of state conventions with fellow party chairs in Philadelphia.

Guidelines laid out by Buckley would requireHillary Clinton’s and Bernie Sanders’s campaigns to send senior staff to the remaining state conventions.

Buckley also called for campaigns and the DNC work more closely together to help conventions run more smoothly.   For the full article click here
