May is a big month for Democrats!
May 3rd was the Clint and Michelle Stennett Social—and was a great success. We had an attendance of over 170 people. We raised money with our auction and spent the evening socializing and hearing our Democratic candidates. Thanks to Bev Robinson, Janie Davidson, and Karen Bliss—the committee members—and GG Luke who worked overtime obtaining auction items.
The primary election is May 21. The Blaine County Democrats voted to endorse Linday Mollineaux for county commissioner. Lindsay was extensively vetted by our committee to fill the spot left vacant with the death of Dick Fosbury. We believe Lindsay has the expertise, practical experience and management skills that Blaine County needs.
Blaine County Democrats also endorsed the school levy. Please remember to vote in flavor!
The Presidential Caucus is May 23 and will be held at the Hailey Town Center from 5-8 pm. The caucus chooses delegates to the state convention which will be held in June. You can come by any time between 5-8 pm to cast your vote. Delegates to the state convention need your support. We hope to see you there.
Willa Beriker, our Legislative District 26 organizer will begin May 13 with training in Boise before she begins her work for our district. We are looking forward to working with her!
Coming up in June- State Convention and Pride Event in Sun Valley.
Thanks for all you do for Blaine County Democrats.
—Deborah Silver, Blaine County Democrats Chair
