The current version of the change does not contain “pre-convention.” As the 2018 Republican congressional candidate, I can say this change is overdue. I am also a current state central committee member and will likely vote for the change. If we are going to have conventions (by state statue we must) resulting in a Republican endorsed candidate, there must be a benefit to the resources spent getting that endorsement. Right now there is not.
Manny. Thanks for reading it. My understanding is that this only applies to state wide races rather than Congressional races. Nonetheless, I believe if you had been properly funded, you would have won that race. You are a great candidate.
If we are going to the have the Convention System - which to my knowledge is required by state law - maybe we should consider a provision that all delegates pay $500 or some agreed upon number. The Convention winner then gets all the money. With around 200 delegates at the typical congressional convention, the $100,000 could really help.
