NH Dems Announce 95 Delegates Slated at Last Weekend's Caucuses
Diversity Goals Achieved
(Concord) - On December 15th, 903 people participated in the New Hampshire Democratic Party district-level delegate selection caucuses where 95 delegates were slated. 28 of the 95 people slated identify with historically under-represented groups, fulfilling the 1/3 affirmative action goal.
District-level delegates, 7 in each district, are divided equally between men and women and positions within each district are designated by presidential preference beginning with the highest vote-getting candidates. Presidential candidates must receive over 15% of the district wide vote in order to be allocated delegates. The next step will happen on April 26th, 2008 when the district-level delegates will caucus at the NHDP headquarters to fill 8 openings for at-large and pledged party leader and elected official delegate openings.
The full list of delegate slates that were chosen by each campaign are now available to view on our website by clicking here.
"Our district-level delegate selection process went very smoothly," said Raymond Buckley, Chair of the NH Democratic Party. "I can't remember a time when New Hampshire Democrats were more active than they are now. The success of the weekend caucuses ensured that New Hampshire will send a diverse and committed delegation to Denver next summer."
