I couldn't find one on Feinstein's website or the packet, only a phone number (nobody answered any of my many calls or returned my voicemails). Also I was instructed by a staffer after calling Harris' office to email Sean_Ansted@harris.senate.gov He runs the entire nomination process for her office, and was super helpful whenever I emailed him.
I cannot get any contact with Feintstein's office, they have a phone number that nobody answers (I called over a dozen times across several days).
I'm from Washington state, where/when did you hear that neither senator is conducting interviews? Also, do you by chance know how competitive each district is? I'm trying to estimate my chances...
I'm from WA08 and heard back from Congresswoman Schrier this week that they had received my application and are reviewing all applications this week. Applications were due Oct. 30th and interviews will likely be early December. I'm not sure if they publish how many spots a Congress member has at each academy, it'd be best to assume that they only have one and to try your best to get that spot.
The goal is to “win the slate,” yes, to get a nom and be offered the appointment, if fully qualified, that will be charged to that elected official, but the other applicants getting on the slate itself with a nom allows for the SA to choose additional appointees from that group following the rules for that additional nominating authority. Refer to the Sticky at the top of the Nominations forum. Good info for new readers.
DS traded emails with staffs. Said that was the plan. Of course, that could change.I'm from Washington state, where/when did you hear that neither senator is conducting interviews? Also, do you by chance know how competitive each district is? I'm trying to estimate my chances...
The first clause isn't true while the remaining clauses, and the sentiment expressed, are true. Each Congressional District (ignoring States) has about the same number of people. It's really how many potential candidates that is the key. Of course at the State/Senatorial Level, population size, which varies, is a critical factor. I'm probably being a little nit-picker here, but...
We actually heard back from congresswoman Schrier's office as well. They do only have one spot available this year.
In all probability, the nomination process has been running along with little to no impact from the election, I know that is the case in the areas where I've participated in the process. Locally to me, our district had a very contentious election with huge amounts of spending and the MOC actually in quarantine for the final couple of weeks of the campaign but the nomination process went along in parallel (as it should) and I just received a binder full of candidate info to review prior to upcoming interviews. I've seen our senatorial processes work the same way through several changes of incumbent and elections.
