Message from the Chair

Happy New Year!!  I hope that everyone had an enjoyable and safe holiday season. This year is going to be one where we all will be needed to ensure we get our Democrats elected to office and support them as much as possible. We are saddled with the most corrupt administration that I can recall in my lifetime (and I’ve been around for a bit, yes a boomer ). We need to keep our local Democrats in office and work hard to help Democrats in other places stay in office as well. I fully expect that there is going to be a lot of nasty stuff flying around in an effort to keep Democrats out of office. We all need to ensure that does not happen.

Locally, we have our own folks to elect/re-elect to office. The state legislative session starts on Monday, so it is time for folks to pay attention to what will be happening in Olympia. Where one used to have to be physically present at any hearing in Olympia in order to speak, thanks to COVID, changes were made to accommodate distant attendees so people can now zoom in and attend a legislative hearing that way. Comments on legislation can be made online as well.

Please note that this upcoming legislative session is the ”short session” where the focus is on the budget and policy with the projected end date of March 12.

As a reminder, our LD meets on the fourth Thursday of the month so that will be January 22, We meet at the Poulsbo Library in the downstairs meeting room

Doors open at 6:30 pm for schmoozing and pizza with the business portion starting at 7 pm. Specifics about the agenda will be in a future newsletter. I hope to see you there!
