Controversy Over NDAs and Delegate Lists for Georgia GOP Candidates

Dur­ing the Geor­gia GOP coun­ty con­ven­tion, del­e­gates are select­ed for dis­trict and state con­ven­tions, and can­di­dates for exec­u­tive board posi­tions are sup­posed to receive del­e­gate lists simul­ta­ne­ous­ly to begin cam­paign­ing. How­ev­er, delays in releas­ing the del­e­gate lists have raised con­cerns. Can­di­dates are also being asked to sign a nine-page non-dis­clo­sure agree­ment (NDA) with a cor­po­ra­tion, despite these being vol­un­teer roles with no clear job descrip­tions. This require­ment is seen as intim­i­dat­ing, manip­u­la­tive, and an inter­fer­ence in the elec­tion process. Crit­ics are urged to high­light this per­ceived cor­rup­tion, link­ing it to RNC Chair­man Michael What­ley, who will attend the 9th Dis­trict con­ven­tion. Addi­tion­al­ly, Bri­an K. Pritchard (BKP) dis­cussed com­mu­ni­ty out­reach with Der­rick Allen of Revive the Com­mu­ni­ty, focus­ing on engag­ing minor­i­ty com­mu­ni­ties in Geor­gia.

• When we have our coun­ty con­ven­tion the dis­trict and state del­e­gates are picked for the respec­tive con­ven­tions. Once all the del­e­gates are com­piled.  The can­di­dates for the exec­u­tive boards are giv­en the list of del­e­gates at the same time to start cam­paign­ing. WE have been wait­ing for the del­e­gate list, in the mean­time the can­di­dates are to sign the NDA. Every­time the can­di­dates ask for the NDA. Keep in mind that all these posi­tions are vol­un­teer posi­tions. Why would they enter into an agree­ment with a cor­po­ra­tion that they are not a mem­ber of or don’t have a job descrip­tion, why would they sign a 9 page agree­ment. This is intim­i­dat­ing, manip­u­la­tion, and inter­fer­ence of an elec­tion. 
• We need to be tag­ging all this cor­rup­tion to RNC Michael What­ley who will be in the 9th dis­trict con­ven­tion this Fri­day. 
• BKP talks to Der­rick Allen, Revive the Com­mu­ni­ty, on the out­reach to minor­i­ty com­mu­ni­ties in Geor­gia.
