In early December, I attended the final Democratic National Committee’s Change Commission meeting in Washington, D.C.

An action packed four days followed.  First, Brian Bond invited me to witness the swearing in of Ambassador David Huebner at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.  I took photos of the holiday decorations (they even included menorahs) and the scene on the way down.  Vice President Joe Biden escorted Ambassador Huebner’s mother – as well as the mother of Duane McWaine, Huebner’s spouse – to the ceremony and delivered incredible remarks.

Afterwards, my good friend Clay Doherty and I attended a White House Holiday Party.  There were approximately five hundred or so attendees who enjoyed the hospitality of the Obamas and an open invitation to view the first two floors of the White House.  I loved the gingerbread house with Bo in it.  And no, while I didn’t get to see Bo on this trip, I did get to meet The First Lady and David Axelrod, see David Binder, and fist bump POTUS.

The Change Commission ended up reducing the number of unpledged delegates (our new term for super delegates).  This is a somewhat simplified explanation for the result, but once the report is finalized we will post it here.

Finally, John Lazar and Ted Jarvis, my dear friends from the Alice B. Toklas Democratic Club, hosted a fundraiser in their home for our campaign.  Former San Franciscans like Ellie Schafer, Debbie Mesloh, Nani Colaretti, Larry Handerhan, and Andy Green dropped by to show support for what we are doing.

All in all, it was a great weekend.
