Andru
Volinsky And Democratic Town Caucuses
Local
Democrats and Independents are invited to the meeting of the
Tri-Town Democrats of Barnstead, Gilmanton, and Alton on Monday,
February 4th at 6:30. Registered Democrats from all three
towns are eligible to vote in the caucus elections for town
Democratic committee officers and delegates to the Democratic State
Convention and to the county Democratic committee.
The
meeting will also feature guest speaker Andru Volinsky, Executive
Councilor of NH, who will discuss real estate taxes and school
funding. He has represented several communities in their fight
to protect public funding for schools and has been holding forums
around the state informing the public about these issues.
The
Alton, Gilmanton, and Barnstead Democratic Committees will be
holding their caucuses to each elect five volunteer officers: chair,
vice chair, secretary, and treasurer and one delegate-at-large for
each of the three towns’ committees. These five positions also have
a vote at annual state Democratic Party conventions to approve the
party platform. This is a great way to take an active role in the
committee work and strengthen our group’s efforts in the coming two
years leading up to the 2020 presidential election.
These
monthly meetings give you the opportunity to learn about local and
state political issues and how you can participate in making a
difference. You will share the evening with like-minded
individuals and have the chance to express your opinions and
experiences.
The
guest speaker will be followed by action items and community
organizing. This meeting of the Tri-Town Democrats will be
held at the Barnstead Town Hall at 108 South Barnstead Road in
Barnstead. Come for socializing and potluck any time between
6:15 pm and 6:30 pm.
This
meeting is open to all residents of Barnstead, Alton, and Gilmanton
who consider themselves moderate, liberal, or progressive Democrats
or like-minded Independents. Potluck items to share are
encouraged but not required.
