Our school boards are under right-wing attack. Please give $ to your County Dem party

County Democratic parties recruit school board candidates and help them pay for advertising, yard signs and mailers. They help those new to politics run their campaigns.

County Democrats organize people to come to school board meetings to counter ugly, screaming right wing bullies pushing their racist, bigoted agendas.

County Democrats organize the precinct committee people and other volunteers to phone bank and canvass in support of our candidates.


Please consider even a small recurring monthly donation. They get it all done on a shoestring budget. Every dollar goes a long long way. Regular money coming in helps them budget.
And as you know - school board members, mayors, county commissioners and sheriffs are the state and federal elected leaders of tomorrow.

Not all county units do the work on school boards, FWIW. Sometimes you just have to get involved WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2021 #1

So many people will only vote in "the big ones". Guess what a local school board, city council or county administrator can mess with your life a lot more than the President. Plus that is where the future leaders are groomed.

GOTV and vote yourself EVERY SINGLE TIME!
