这对地方董事会意味着什么?

If your PIC member comes to you with an opportunity for early engagement, you have four options:

• Pass a local recommendation for early engagement in 一个候选人’s election. TREPAC will consider this race at its next opportunity using your local recommendation and PIC guidance.
• Oppose a recommendation for early engagement in 一个候选人’s election. The PAC may still consider this race at its next opportunity, but will require a 2/3 vote to override your local position. 如果没有进行投票或没有达到2/3的门槛, you can submit 一个候选人 recommendation on your own timeline.
• Request additional time to process the recommendation on early engagement in 一个候选人’s election. (联系人员)
• Take no action or remain neutral on early engagement in 一个候选人’s election: TREPAC may still consider this race at its next opportunity.

早期参与准则/时间表(提交文件前)

• 早期接触– legislative races in which TREPAC may vote to support an announced candidate ahead of the official filing period (November – December in odd years)
  • Recommendations for early engagement can come from the PIC or a local board
  • Perpetual campaigns – Identify the need to get involved early due to the perpetual nature of the modern political environment
  • 面试——仍然是面试过程的一部分, use your discretion to determine if an “interview” is necessary
