    Nomination Help

    I was one of the lucky candidates to receive and LOA and I was deemed medically cleared, but I lack a nomination. I am not eligible for a presidential nomination. I recently had an interview with individuals from Interim Senator Chiesa's office (NJ) and was denied. I am trying not to get...
