Brad Hudson (on the right) and Jon Studer (on the left), Team ISEA Lobbyist, started our meeting Friday evening with a legislative report on progress being made in Iowa's General Assembly.Brad distributed legislative maps, reviewed candidate questionaires as well as candidate interview procedures. Team ISEA PAC members worked within their UniServ Units to take charge of who would be responsible for setting up individual candidate interviews.
I updated the group on where NEA is with presidential candidate endorsements and our U.S. Senate and U.S.House candidates. NEA Directors Jim Young and Kathy Williams updated us on fundraising for the NEA Fund for Children and Public Education and activities to be held at Delegate Assembly next week to bring attention to our efforts.
Brad walked us through all 25 state Senate races as well as all 100 Iowa House races. Candidate interviews should be completed by June 2nd with all paper work to us by then. Our next ISEA-PAC Central Committee meeting will be Monday, June 9th in Des Moines.
Thanks to all Team ISEA-PAC for the work you've done in the past and the work you do for Campaign 2008!
