At tonight's meeting, Champaign County Democrats will consider a resolution
I have proposed in support of the candidacy of CPC co-chair Rep. Keith
Ellison to lead the Democratic National Committee.

Note that at this point this is just the proposal of one member of the
committee.



Now, members of the Champaign County Democratic Central Committee will work

wish to arrive a bit early.

Draft Resolution in support of the candidacy of CPC co-chair Rep. Keith
Ellison to lead the Democratic National Committee



Whereas, Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chair Rep. Keith Ellison is
running for Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and he has been
endorsed by Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Harry Reid and Chuck
Schumer, Representatives Tammy Duckworth and Raul Grijalva, CWA, National
Nurses United, IBEW, Steelworkers, MoveOn, the Working Families Party, and
PDA, among others; and



Whereas, Rep. Ellison has been a champion for working people, the
environment, and human rights, and he opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership
and helped lead the fight to get the Democratic Party Platform to take an
explicit stand against the TPP, and will focus the party on building
political power for working people; and



Whereas, Champaign County Democrats voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary
by a margin of two to one, and Rep. Ellison was a leading surrogate for
Bernie in the primary;



Therefore, be it resolved that the Champaign County Democratic Central
Committee endorses CPC co-chair Keith Ellison to be the next Chairman of
the Democratic National Committee.
