Message from the Chair

As your Chair, I have been working with the surrounding LD Chairs to aid in the transition of precincts from our LD 15 to LD 2, 3, 4, 27 and 28. It has been a pleasure to work with these dedicated leaders and get to know them better. Many of us have not met in person, but have spent hours this past year on Zoom calls.
At our meeting on January 19, I challenged everyone to maintain their current friendships in LD 15 and work on developing new ones in their new LDs. We are all Democrats and are working toward the same goal–electing Democrats in Arizona and turning this state blue!
It is possible that we will have a February LD 15 meeting, but a little uncertain until we know when the reorganization meetings are scheduled by the County. The new maps are in the process of finalization now, and our reorganizational meetings will probably be held in February. Please stay connected to our LD 15 social media and website for further information. Precinct Committee People need to be on the lookout for emails and/or a postcard in the mail with registration links for the meeting. Make sure you attend so you can vote for your new LD Board! Again, it has been my pleasure to serve as your LD 15 Chair for the past year, and on the Board for several previous years. Here’s to our future!
All my best,
Joyce O’Daniel
Chair, LD15 Democrats
