OLFD Nevada Report

[scudiac]

I was also in NH for a month and in NV for about two weeks. The difference was night and day. In those two weeks, we got more done than the entire month in NH imo. Also, the meetup members need to get on the ball. There should never be a shortage of volunteers to do real work with the meetup members we have. This is suppose to be a "grassroots" campaign. Yet, when you call the grassroots to put boots on the ground, the ratio of real workers to meetup members is about 1:500 it seems.

The staff: Jeff, Brian, Robert, Carl, and Ted all performed exceptionally well. The regional coordinator, Jeff Greenspan, picked precisely the right people. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Brian Kominsky. He was the Clark County coordinator. Clark County is the largest county in Nevada. Brian was the perfect person for the job. 100% reliable. Rock-solid guy. Very good judgment. I hope he continues to work on political campaigns, and stays active in the community by pursuing leadership/political positions. I was also very proud of my fellow volunteers of the Las Vegas MeetUp. In my view the MeetUp itself is on its way to becoming an actual political entity of some significance as it concerns local and state politics.

The Phoenix MeetUp and the volunteers that came in from Iowa and New Hampshire were also invaluable. I had a great time with them, and we canvassed and performed a variety of different tasks together. I want to thank Faith H, Alexandra J, Mike Schaecher, Nickel P, Justin, David I, Elizabeth, Dale B, Kristen B, and Michael G. These folks were the hard-core canvassers that were out every day canvassing or calling two weeks prior to the caucus, and they should be commended for their exceptional work.
