Going to the state convention!

I neglected to mention in my legislative district caucus liveblogging yesterday that two of us will be attending the state convention and congressional district caucus as part of our LD Obama delegations, not as just members of the media.

I am one of twenty three Obama delegates from the 1st Congressional District for the 45th LD delegation, and my colleague Jason Black is the first alternate from the 8th Congressional District for the 48th LD's delegation.

I was previously a delegate in 2006, but there was little to no competition to go to the state convention then. This time around, hundreds of people were vying to be one of the forty five delegates that gets to go on the next level. Those that campaigned well and made strong presentations that stood out were rewarded.

Spokane promises to be a lot of fun. If you're not planning on making the trek to the Lilac City in June, rest assured that NPI will have live coverage of the convention online, all weekend long.
