Rest of state DNC Delegation to be picked May 3

The Maryland Democratic Party has set Saturday, May 3 as the tentative date it will name the remainder of its delegation to the Democratic National Convention in Denver this August.

At the meeting, the State Central Committee will select another 2 unpledged add-on superdelegates, nominated by Chairman Michael Cryor.

The approximately 352-member committee will also name another 9 delegates from party leaders and elected officials, plus another 15 at-large delegates. These 24 delegates are tied to the popular vote, with Barack Obama nominating 15 and 9 delegates nominated by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Each candidate is allowed a right of review to the delegates ultimately chosen. Michael Novelli is Obama’s authorized state representative, while Kate Geyer is Clinton’s.
