State Delegate Planning

So you filed for State Delegate. Now what?

MCDP will hold a meeting for our eventual delegation after the May Primary. Delegates are reminded there is a modest fee of $35 to help defray the costs of the party convention after the primary. For financial hardship or questions on the fee structure, please contact chair@monroedems.org.

In the meantime, all Democrats are encouraged to review and comment on the State Party Platform, which will be voted upon by the State Convention in June.

Please check out the Platform on the IDP website, here.

In-Kind Donations

As we come back from COVID-19, we are no different than any business or non-profit that shuttered for a year, and seek in-kind contributions.

Whether moldering in your basement or something on the way out of your place of business, we hope your trash could be our treasure.

If you have items below that you are willing to donate, please contact MCDP Chair David Henry at chair@monroedems.org. Have some ideas on what we could use? Share with David too.
