Message from the Chair
I don’t know if everyone is looking as forward to September as I am! Fall is right around the corner, and cooler mornings and evenings are on our horizon. As many of you know, we are working hard at getting referenda signatures and have several events scheduled around the District to accomplish that. Many thanks to our Voter Outreach Committee, PC Outreach Committee and Social Committee for their hours of work scheduling these events and organizing phone banking to publicize them.
As we look to redistricting, our work continues around building relationships with new volunteers and gaining new Precinct Committee People to help with the work in 2022. Building relationships with surrounding Districts is important, too, since new District lines could merge ours with another District. Joint events could be in our future.
My challenge to you this month is to continue to reach out to others in your precincts to build community. Let’s keep our eyes on the prize–our charge as a legislative district (LD) is to elect Democrats; our work should focus on the LD and electing state legislators here! I send a huge SHOUT OUT to all our volunteers and PCs who are tirelessly working in a non-election year! All my best,
Joyce O’Daniel
Chair, LD15 Democrats
