Nominations are now open for the election of members to the MTA Candidate Recommendation Committee. The committee is responsible for making recommendations to members to support candidates for state and federal office.

Elections will be held to fill one seat in each of the following Congressional Districts: 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Terms on the committee last for three years. The committee member must live in the congressional district to be represented.

Those eligible to vote for CRC members are delegates to the past year's MTA Annual Meeting of Delegates who live in the specified congressional district.

Upon request, candidates will be provided with a list of Annual Meeting delegates for the congressional district, along with names and addresses. If the number of candidates is equal to or less than the number of positions to be filled, elections may be waived and the candidates declared elected to the positions in question.
