Chair Update: Oct 21 2025

Hello Democrats! What a day we had on Saturday! The universe agreed with our purposes so we had perfect weather, lots of like-minded activists present, and the other side, though present, was tiny and silent. It felt so wonderful to be fulfilling the most basic of our citizen rights, the one to peacefully assemble.

There is a lot of activity going on with the HCDP. Early voting poll worker training is the 22nd and we’ll be solving all national problems at the Dems and Deli conversation at McAlister’s in Plainfield and State Convention Delegate Training on 10/24. Once you decide to go along with the county party, you will never be bored or lonely. You all have ideas of how to ‘fix’ what ails the government – so I invite you to join us and tell us those ideas. Don’t forget to sign up to donate blood at the fairgrounds on 10/25.

Be on the lookout in the next week or so for another survey. This one is asking your thoughts on how the party is doing so far since reorganization in March. There have been a ton of changes made, and I very much want to hear your assessment of how it is all going. If I have not said it before, let me say now, this is not ‘my’ party. The HCDP stands in for all the Democrats in the county, however, if ‘I’ only ever hear suggestions, ideas, etc., from the same 30 or 40 people, it can feel like a one-person, one-group organization. For example, the survey we sent out for the HH Dinner was returned by 17 people. 134 attended. It is a short questionnaire – 3 questions only. I ask that you take a little time to thoughtfully respond. Think about the structure, the meetings, the committees, the executive committee, the messaging, the communications, the activities – all of it. And it will be good if you could not just critique, but add suggestions you think would help make a better organization.
