by at least thirty-five (35) TCPP members eligible to vote,
received by the TCPP Vice Chair William Pitts (<a

on or before Sept 29. A petition begins by the candidate
notifying the TCPP Vice Chair of an intent to run. Recognizing
the distributed nature of the TCPP membership, members may join a
petition for nomination individually before the deadline by a
communication that can be validated. No distinction will be made
on the ballot between candidates nominated by committee or
petition. </div>
