Well over a hundred candidates were interviewed by the Executive Committee, and over 70 were put on the consent calendar to be automatically endorsed by the Party at the September 17th meeting, around 30 more candidates were nominated for the endorsement and will be interviewed by the full Committee on that date. It takes two ACDCC members to either pull a candidate from the consent calendar or nominate them for endorsement – and this [Continue Reading]
