This email attaches the March 6 cease and desist letter to the clerk and urges Sonya Brandt to read it fully. It highlights the “if nominated” language in the Candidate Declaration Form, questions who nominates candidates, and provides two scenarios illustrating risks if the clerk had nomination authority (e.g., party flooding with 10 fake Republicans or clerk deciding only 2 candidates per office).
The email explains the county clerk has no statutory authority for nominations, which belongs to the committee. It lists current nominations (Valerie Prater for Treasurer, John Glavin for Presiding Commissioner), reminds of the March 10 filing fee return deadline if vetting not completed, and warns against relying on lobbyist or clerk advice.
Ends with an offer to answer questions.
