Transcript

This is a transcript of the video clips in which this bill is discussed.

ON PRIVILEGES AND ELECTIONS AND MR. SPEAKER MR. ALSO IS A FLOOR AMENDMENT.

Del. Bill Howell (R-Fredericksburg): THE GENTLEMAN FROM PRINCE WILLIAM, MR. COLE.

Del. Mark Cole (R-Fredericksburg): THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER.

[Unknown]: I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE FROM.

Del. Mark Cole (R-Fredericksburg): SENATE BILL 1585 SIMPLY APPLIES A CONSISTENT STANDARD FOR PARTY IDENTIFICATION ON THE BALLOT CURRENTLY AS YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE RUNNING FOR STATE ELECTED OFFICE AND THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND YOU ARE A PARTY NOMINEE THAT IS INDICATED ON THE BALLOT. THAT IS NOT TRUE FOR LOCAL CANDIDATES. THIS WOULD MAKE THAT CONSISTENT. I THINK IT IS A TRANSPARENCY AND PROVIDE INFORMATION FOR THE VOTER. IT DOES NOT FORCE ANYONE TO RUN AS A PARTISAN.
