EscInd: Weekly Action Plan for December 3, 2018
Welcome to Escondido Indivisible’s weekly action plan for December 3, 2018! San Diego County Registrar of Voters last reported that there are ~20,000 outstanding ballots left to be processed, but not much changed in point percentages in the 3 main races (Mayor, City Council and D50) that we’re following. Election results will be finalized on or before Thursday, Dec. 6, 2018.
An administrative announcement: we’ll be on semi-hiatus for December and will return in the new year, January 2019. In addition, based on the feedback from Escondido Indivisible 2019 Survey, we’ll also be trying a newsletter format in January where the action plan will be categorized by issues instead of days. We’ll look forward to your feedback on the new format! See you then and happy holidays!
