Politicon 2019

26-27 October 2019

• Plan: Send materials to LPTN table at event
• Participants: Tom Arnold
• After-Action Notes: 200ish buttons and 250ish brochures distributed; table was dealing with 5-6 people the entire event. Bottleneck may have been the number of table volunteers.

Arkansas Convention

26 Oct 2019 -- we missed this one

South Carolina Convention

02 Nov 2019

• Plan: bring leftover brochures and outreach buttons from Politicon '19; Tom has some remaining caucus buttons. No tabling opportunities, so buttons will be distributed to the crowd.
• Participants:

Susan Hogarth

• Notes:

The highest produced presidential debate so far came right after the convention. The outgoing chair claimed it was the first even though it was not only not the first but also not the first in-person debate.

• After-Action Notes:

An increase in state party officials who are friendly to the caucus
