Con ference committees will likely be organizing community residents to help w ith lawn signs, canvassing, fundraising and community cam paign meetings “ We certainly have quite an op portunity to be influential in this campaign and we should take ad vantage of it,” Herndon said. Whether Goldschmidt or Paulus wins, Herndon said, the Conference will be watching the new governor to make sure they hold to promises made to the community during the campaign Before the May primary, the Black Leadership Conference met with each candidate and went over a list of questions and issues deem ed important to tho black commu nity The candidates' responses formed the basis for the Conference endorsement Also at the Saturday meeting, the Conference discussed whether to endorse other candidates. Singled out were the races between City Commissioner Margaret Strachan and Robert Koch for the City Coun cil. between Gladys McCoy and Glenn Otto for County Commis sioner, and between Jim Hill and I B Day for State Senator.
