Message from the Chair
With only a few days left until Christmas and the New Year, I wanted to remind everyone what we all have accomplished this year. We increased the membership of the Democratic Party, we increased attendance at events, and we all worked heart and soul through the 2016 elections. We have a lot for which to be thankful during the past year!
We stood for what is right, and we tried to change what is wrong. We worked for our community, our state, and our nation! There is no reason for us to hang our heads. Without the work that each of us did, there would be no change for the good! We make a difference each and every day with our actions and our words.
I am proud of the Democratic Party, I am proud of our new Governor, and I am proud to be a part of the Henderson County Democratic Party! Through the year, and through the election, it was amazing to see all of you in action: the smiling faces at events, the endless discussion groups and meetings trying to figure out the best needs of the people, and finally the work everyone did during the election!
This was not a common election year, and it certainly will go down in history! People wanted something of a change, they were willing to believe the propaganda, and they made their decision. Now we all will reap the decision of the vote.
Our future is unknown, but we can only imagine the actions of people who are now being put in national office positions. Each of them has a reputation, and we can only envision what they will do. How will our President Elect lead this nation through the trials that are coming?
But we did make a difference! We elected a Governor, we elected an Attorney General, we elected a Supreme Court Justice, we elected school board members, and we kept a lot of people in office who faced opposition! We did our jobs to the best of our abilities!
There were a lot of new and energetic faces at the polls this year. Those same faces and more will be back at the polls next year and for the years after! We build on our wins, figure out our loses, and we move forward into a new year! The fight for right is never a one time fight, but a continuous fight! Together, and only together, will we prevail! We stand for the people, and we stand for moving ahead!
Folks, I am proud of you, and I am proud of the Henderson County Democratic Party! May each of you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May each of you find some solace in these words, hug your family and friends, and be thankful! We will come together after the holidays, invigorated and ready to work for the Henderson County Democratic Party!
In Solidarity and Growth,
In Changing a Nation into a Nation for All,
Mark V. Case
