Thanks to all the Klickitat Democrats who attended the County Convention yesterday in Lyle. We had a nice big room at the Lyle Activity Center that was perfect for our group, with attendees from Bingen, White Salmon, N. Fruit Valley, Mt. Brook, Lyle, Pine Forest, and Goldendale 1 precincts. The 14th LD Sub Caucus elected five delegates and two alternates to the Third Congressional District Caucus on May 20 and the State Convention in Seattle, June 1-3. Congratulations to our delegates Lorrie DeKay, LeRoy Schoot, Rosemary Hoyt, Tracy Miles, and Ann Stephenson, and our alternates Shelley Baxter and Janet Holen. We will have great representation from across the county at the next level. County Chair Lorrie DeKay announced that she will be running for a National Delegate slot at the Congressional District Caucus. Read more... (estimated 41 secs reading time)

Do you have a ‘burning issue’? Something that you would like to address at the precinct caucuses and/or County Convention? Think about writing a resolution!
Resolutions are a way for the Washington State Democrats to state our positions on specific issues. Resolutions are submitted by local party organizations and caucuses of the Washington State Democratic Central Committee (WSDCC). They are passed at WSDCC Meetings, and at Democratic State Conventions, which are held in even-numbered years. Read more... (estimated 36 secs reading time)
This is the date by which we need to elect one member to each of the State Convention Standing Committees (Credentials, Platform and Rules). If you are interested, contact Lorrie DeKay. It’s a good way to be part of the State Convention if you are not a delegate.

For those of you who missed last night’s meeting, we were so fortunate to have Bob Ferguson address the group. He and his manager were on their way from Seattle to Tri Cities and Spokane, making a swing through our neck of the woods. We were all impressed, with both his qualifications and presentation, and will vote at next month’s meeting to endorse him. Please check out his website, www.electbobferguson.com, and you can also find him on Facebook. If you can send a little donation his way, it will help a lot! You can donate online or pick up a donation envelope at the next meeting.

We will now be posting our newsletters on this site. The January Newsletter has one correction from the edition that went out via email. With most sincere apologies to Auditor Candidate Craig Pridemore, I have corrected the first mention of him as Craig Sizemore. Got it right in the link, though. Sorry, Craig, we do NOT want to link you to that scoundrel from Oregon, and beg forgiveness.
