1. Josue Pierre did not respond to the Club’s invitation to address concerns we had related to his involvement challenging petitions of candidates. Based on the motion approved at the May 9th Club meeting, he is thus removed from the Board of Governors

2. David George reported on RAPP’s continued efforts to encourage the Governor to release elderly people from prison, particularly given the heightened health risks during COVID and the Governor’s failure to take any actions. 

It was decided that any further endorsements for the June 23rd primary will be decided upon by the officers.
