Kendra Gonzales (Ventura) No, high-profile campaigns give us alot more access to a larger audience such as the Sample Ballot, more media coverage...including "protest" when we are not "allowed" into debates. I consider Executive Office (Governor,etc)  campaigns as important as local seats. We simply need to be more strategic on how to support and organize both. Fundraise first quarter 2011, and we're on our way!

Jenni Woodward (SF): No. But I think we need an online registry of GPCA people, their education and talents (perhaps including resumés and qualifications for various offices as well?).  We also could benefit greatly if we had an online candidates training program for various offices, state and local, as well as for some national agency appointments. Some of us might try to get someone appointed to an office c/o the Democrats who hold higher management positions in that office. It's not us vs. them anymore and it's not enough to just be opinionated (and right).
