On Wednesday, March 19, members of the Austin
Lesbian/Gay Political Caucus will gather to hear presentations from
candidates seeking the endorsement of the Caucus for the May City
Council
election. In seeking an endorsement, candidates are required to answer a
questionnaire on subjects of interest to our community. Copies of the
candidates' answers will be available the evening of
the Forum.
During the Forum portion of the meeting, each candidate will be allowed
time for remarks, followed by questions from ALGPC members. At the
conclusion of the Forum, the membership will
vote on endorsements in each race in which a candidate has sought an
endorsement.
In order to vote, you must be a current, dues-paid member of ALGPC and must
have been so at least thirty days before the meeting. If you are a previous
ALGPC member and your membership has expired, you may make your membership
current on the evening of the Endorsement Meeting.
The Candidate Forum and Endorsement Meeting will begin at 6:30 PM on
Wednesday, March 19 in the County Commissioner Court Room, located in the
Granger Bldg. at 314 W. 11th
Street. The Granger Bldg.
is at the northeast corner of 11th and Guadalupe St., across from the County Courthouse.
STAND UP FOR THOSE WHO STAND UP FOR US
It is vitally important for us to support the
candidates who support us. In addition to voting, there are other ways we
can help out and, at the same time, politically strengthen our community.
VOLUNTEER!
Sign up as a campaign volunteer for endorsed candidates. Block walk, put
out signs, help with phone-banking and with
election-day "get out the vote" efforts. Simply follow the links
to the above campaigns to contact that campaign and volunteer.
