Local elections matter! Most people only follow elections during presidential election years when tv channels and social media are full of partisan news. And, yes our 2024 election did have a record number of statewide candidates on our ballot last year.

But local elections in our LD have a huge number of county, city and school board positions. You could potentially see on your ballot dozens of the 63 positions that will be on ballots all across our district – from our County Executive to the local Sewer and Water District Commissioner.

Local elections are the place where many decisions that impact members of our towns and community are made and where the rubber hits the road on how your local tax dollars are spent. So, getting the right candidates elected is really important.

That means we need PCO’s and concerned members to volunteer to help get our endorsed candidates elected. And voting turn-out is always lower during local election years so every ballot means more than usual. That’s why talking to voters about supporting and voting for our endorsed candidates in this year’s local election is more important than ever.

We should all take our anger, our heartbreak and our passion to rallies and canvassing with our candidates this year! We can work on strengthening and improving our local communities now. And then we can take our successful community and party building efforts into next year and work on supporting members of Congress who can help turn around our nation.

The upcoming months will bring many opportunities to meet our endorsed candidates and volunteer to help with their campaign events. We are also planning to sponsor 33rd LD canvassing events in all 5 of our cities, around when the ballots are mailed for the August 5th primary Election.

To keep from filling up your emails, please keep an eye on our calendar of events at NEWS & EVENTS | 33rd District Democrats That will be where we will post upcoming event information, as we receive it.

Now, on to where the action is…..
