The report of AFGE Local 2139 Election Committee Chair Richard Boehme is below. Congratulations to all who ran.
The officer election was previously reported. Not more than one candidate filed for each officer position, so all who ran were declared elected.
As stated in the Call for Nominations and on the Election Ballot, the President and Executive Vice President are delegates by virtue of election to those positions. Our delegates (in order) for the term of January 4, 2016 to January 6, 2019 will be:
1. Jeff Darby (By Virtue of Election as President): Nederland, Texas.
2. Robert Williams (By Virtue of Election as Executive Vice President): Garland, Texas.
3. Sandra Boudloche: Fort Worth, Texas.
4. Cosme Gutierrez: Belen, New Mexico.
5. Rohn Dixon: Vinton, Louisiana.
6. Luis Arteaga: Tyler, Texas.
7. Michael Bennett: Plano, Texas.
We are presently entitled to five (5) delegates for AFGE events (Convention and District Caucus) and to four (4) delegates for the NCFLL Presidents Meeting. Our delegate strength to other labor organizations depends on the rules of those bodies (for example, we are entitled to two (2) delegates to the Texas AFL-CIO).
