The real advantage of having an LOA is that your appointment does not count in the MOC’s slate of nominees. In other words, LOA candidates who receive nominations and are fully qualified will receive an appointment. The MOC does not have to make the LOA candidate a primary choice because he knows the candidate will get in. The LOA candidate could even be ranked #10 on a slate of 10 and it won’t matter. If there are 3 LOA candidates in the same congressional district the MOC can nominate 7 others and know that 3 are in for sure and at least 1 more has a strong shot if fully qualified. Even those MOC’s who do not rank candidates on their slate are glad to know that others from their districts will receive appointments. (Clear as mud? I didn’t sleep last night,)
