Resolutions

What is a Resolution?

• Resolutions are actions someone can take to address matters concerning the Legislative District or Democrats in general. 
• The written structure of a resolution contains both WHEREAS clauses and THEREFORE clauses. Whereas clauses are the reasons for the actions to be taken; therefore clauses are the actions to be taken. 
• Resolutions must follow state approved formatting. Please see WSDCC Rules for Resolutions for specific structure rules and details. 
• Resolutions may be directed to other persons or organizations, being sure that the person or organization is noted in the “Resolved” portion of the document. i.e. “Therefore, be it resolved that the 23rd Legislative District Democrats call upon our elected …”

Who Can Make a Resolution?

• Any member of the 23rd Legislative District
• The LD Chair
• A member of the Executive Board
• Another Democratic Organization in the 23rd Legislative District (with board approval). 

How Do I Propose a Resolution?

• The format of resolutions is on page 5 of the below Rules for Resolutions document: WSDCC Rules for Resolutions .
• Resolutions may be submitted as a printed document or as an electronic document in a common format. 
• They may be submitted to the Chair, any member of the Executive Board, or the chair of any standing committee.
