Congratulations to all the new 2008-2012 Precinct Committee members of the Kentucky Democratic Party. Change For Kentucky members have reported in from all six congressional districts.
As committee members we are the backbone of the party, and we have, on Saturday April 12 at 10am, two of our most important tasks: electing our leaders at the County level and electing a delegation who will go to the State convention and elect our State executive board.
This is THE absolutely crucial time in grassroots politics within the Democratic Party. If you want it, run for leadership in your county and put yourself up as a delegate to the State Convention which will be held June 7 in Lexington at 10AM.
In the past four years, through this process CFK has placed a number of members in County party leadership and placed a member on the State Executive. Of course, our work in the neighborhoods and in our precincts is vital, but it is the leadership that fills vacancies, creates strategy, and sets the tone for how the party will be run. CFK is and can continue to be an important part of how the Democratic Party in Kentucky operates.
Your county chair will know where your meeting will be held. The meeting should have been posted in a local newspaper sometime within the last two weeks as well. If you cannot get a hold of anyone in your county who knows where the April 12 meeting is being held, call Amanda Flanary at KDP. Her number is 502-695-4828. She knows all and is very kind.
