Chairs Report

I will make the formal announcement of an opening on the Executive Board. Please read this blog post for more information. If you are interested in the Male Alternate to the King County Democratic Central Committee, or if you think a particular person might do a great job, please let Chad know!

Also, I'm very proud to announce that the Maps and History project that I've been working on for the past 3 years reached a major milestone in the first week of August. We now have precinct level maps online for all 39 counties, 49 legislative districts, and 6732 precincts. And we're getting inquiries from Texas and Iowa to expand the maps side of the project. We also have precinct level election results for every precinct in the state, and we're beginning to get inquires and information beyond Washington state for that side of the project as well.
