Party chair candidate says delegate engagement is more substantive than TV ads

Commenter 1 said the public often fails to recognize the importance of in-person engagement, arguing that face-to-face contact produces more substantive dialogue than mass-media campaigning. "I don't know why the public doesn't understand that simple principle. It's ours, face to face. It's not I see a news ad. I I or, some type of debate on TV that where they just say the right things. It's face to face questions," Commenter 1 said.

Commenter 2, who identified themself as running for reelection as party chair, described extensive direct outreach to party delegates. "Think about this. I'm running for reelection as the party chair. I have talked either on the phone or face to face with well over a thousand delegates, and I'm running for the party chair position. Don't you think these people are giving even more time to who's gonna be their US Senator or who who's gonna be their congressman? Absolutely, they are," Commenter 2 said.

Commenter 2 contrasted that delegate engagement with broader advertising strategies and listed multiple methods of direct contact. "The quality of engagement from delegates is phenomenal. And you do Zoom calls. You do town halls. You do in person events. You do do phone calls. You're doing letters. You're doing mail pieces versus another system where, like you said before, it's just the occasional ad in between the TV show you're watching that that's all you're seeing... Just definitely a watered down approach that is, in my opinion, a far cry from the substantive dialogue that happens in our delegate process," Commenter 2 said.

The remarks focus on campaign outreach and the perceived depth of discussion that delegates provide compared with televised advertising. No formal motions, votes or policy decisions were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
