Nevada Democrats fiercely want to host the first-in-the-nation presidential primary and they’re making a coordinated push like never before to remove the primacy of New Hampshire and Iowa.
They’ve printed out brochures promoting their state, sent letters to key members of the Democratic National Committee and lobbied them in person.A DNC member from a state with an early contest, who asked not to be named without authorization to speak about the matter, accused Nevada leaders of going back on an informal commitment by delegations from four early states to hold off on lobbying for first-in-the-nation status in the presidential primary.
Rosen, who didn’t attend the early-state meeting, had distributed a glossy Nevada promo brochure to advance Nevada’s argument. The move, however, irked other early-state officials who believed Nevada was going back on its agreement. Artie Blanco, Nevada’s member of the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee, who attended the meeting, was surprised by the blowback, saying she had a completely different take on the conversation.“I’m taken aback that this sounds like some kind of personal attack, when it’s not about that, when I’ve shown support for all four states,” Blanco said Tuesday night. “That’s not how I interpreted that conversation. This is not against any states, but it’s also clear that our law was passed last year.
“As a highly competitive battleground with strong union representation and one of the most diverse electorates in the country, our state offers a real test of who can put together a winning coalition,” said the letter, which was sent this month.
