We have two precinct chair vacancies: Hamblen 2 and Van Buren. Precinct chairs play an important role in keeping their Democrat neighbors informed about elections and candidates. They also serve as voting members of the committee. If you live in one of these precincts (Lora can check to make sure!), and are interested in volunteering, email party chair Lora Lewis Rudd at [email protected].
After the last meeting, Mel Plaisier agreed to serve as our new Treasurer! Thank you, Mel!
Party vice chair Jacob Quackenbush is leading a Young Democrats group for Brown County. If you're a young person who wants to get involved, or know a young person who does, contact Jacob at [email protected] to get plugged in. |
