| Hello and welcome to the Blue Beacon!
The County Assembly was on March 14, but there continued to be multi-county assemblies until April 11. We now have a firm slate of candidates for the June Primary. See the complete list below.
Once again, this year, we are partnering with JDLI to host a Cinco de Mayo celebration, I hope you can join us on May 3 at El Aguascalientes Mexican Restaurant. More details below.
We are also holding training for Precinct Organizers and Captains to start preparing for the 2026 elections. If you don't have these on your calendar, respond to this email. I hope to see you soon.
In Solidarity, Kathryn Wallace, Chair Jefferson County Democratic Party |
