Run for Democratic Party Leadership

The County Party is holding its internal elections this and next month. You have to be a registered Democrat for the past 30 days to run.

There's a whole bunch of positions available, including County Chair. (I believe the current chair is running for state chair, and the only contender to replace her that I'm aware of is someone who I've heard other local Dems criticize as more interested in taking photos with politicians than they are in organizing against Trump. As we can see at the national level, this is unfortunately prevalent within the Democratic Party.)

So, get involved, help make the party more progressive, and consider running for something. The party doesn't usually fill every position. So, there's a good chance you can be a Precinct or Ward Chair by proclamation and without competition. Even if the race is competitive, you can often win with a very low vote total. I'm talking like three or four votes.

And if you don't run, make sure to go to the County Party website and register to vote in these elections so you can have a say in County Party leadership. (This is a different process than registering to vote generally.)
