Again, I appreciate the encouragement to run for office but 1) I do not have the level of extroversion required to run for office 2) I can make an impact in different ways and 3) I have two kids under 5 I do not have the time to do so bsky.app/profile/tomm... - ThreadSky

Priorities!

I don’t mean like assembly. I meant party delegate. But that’s probably unique to New York

kleinman.bsky.social•7 days ago

Think in the city that's determined by the county committee, @michaelcaley.bsky.social is that right?

michaelcaley.bsky.social•7 days ago

the state party chair is elected by the state committee members, elected at the assembly district level. those are more seriously contested races -- you can more or less run for county committee just by showing up and petitioning (join @repyourblock.bsky.social ), state committee is a lift

I may know about as much and what it takes to run for state committee as anyone who is not a state committee member and I would be happy to talk to anyone who is thinking about it

On Long Island typically the party brass puts their guys in, but technically you can petition and force a primary. Would love a statewide effort to get rid of Jacobs.

i think people underestimate the level of engagement with other people that’s required by the job. I’d be catatonic after a few days.

No 3 is the realest

no real person has the time or money to run for office with multiple kids, let alone under age 5

kleinman.bsky.social•7 days ago

But if YOU want to run for office in New York I cannot stress enough that you should talk to @newkingsdems.bsky.social
