Worley given May 17 deadline to resolve DNC's concerns, hold new elections
The Alabama Political Reporter has obtained a letter from the Democratic National Committee to Alabama Democratic Party Chair Nancy Worley giving her and the State Democratic Executive Committee until May 17 to adopt a new diversity caucus, pass new bylaws, and hold new elections.
The DNC letter is signed by Yvette Lewis, Harold Ickes and Patrice Taylor of the DNC rules and bylaws committee, and is dated May 1.
“The order that was passed by the full DNC requires a new election be conducted for ADP Chair and Vice Chair no later than 90 days after February 17, 2019,” Lewis, Ickes, and Taylor wrote. “This deadline is May 17, 2019. Also, the order specifically stated that amendments to the Bylaws, including the Affirmative Action Plan, would need to be approved by the RBC prior to their being adopted. This indicates the need for two meetings of the SDEC, the first to adopt amendments to the Bylaws, including the Affirmative Action Plan and the second to hold a new election for the ADP Chair and Vice Chair, under the new bylaws that comply with the National Party’s Charter and Bylaws. Both meetings would be preceded by effective public affirmative action outreach.”
The DNC originally gave these orders to the Alabama Democratic Party in February and gave them 90 days to accomplish that. This deadline will pass on May 17 and it has become obvious to everyone that little, if any, or this is going to be accomplished by the 17th of this month.
