Hello Friends and Fellow Democrats:
An engaged group, composed of some regulars and some new members, gathered to discuss the issues of this important election year:
- A report from the treasurer indicated a number of contributions received since our last meeting. Keep them coming folks, we need to support our candidates this year! Information on how to contribute is at the bottom of this email.
- The nominating committee reported on a strong pipeline and is currently interviewing prospective candidates.
- The platform was discussed, and there was general consensus on the key issues and positions. Our platform, which is based on our stated values, will be unveiled after the caucus. It addresses specifics of keeping our town vibrant, supporting our constituents, our participation at the county level, ethics, and town safety. The group agreed we have an excellent foundation of issues on which to launch our candidates.
- Finally, we decided to have an informative, fun, fundraising event highlighting our candidates in the early Fall, likely September. Stay tuned for a "Save the Date"! A second, pre-election event will be held just before the November elections.
Remember this is a big year and has the potential to be pivotal; The Town Supervisor and two Town Board members are up for election. We can win this election as we did with the Town Judge David Cassuto last year (in 2012, Democrats won in Austerlitz from the President all the way down the ticket!).
Remember to send to us, at AusterlitzDemocraticCommittee@gmail.com, the email addresses of friends who want to join our distribution list.
Finally, we want to be able to fund our big campaign this year. Please send a donation to Austerlitz Democrats, PO Box 266, Spencertown, NY 12165. The donations are not tax deductible, but are very much appreciated.
