Vote for district delegates at the ADEMs
What are ADEMs you might ask? Well, they are the people who help choose and endorse the Democratic Party candidates you are asked to vote for! An excellent slate of progressive delegate candidates has been put together and they need your support. Votes must be cast in person; only registered Democrats may vote but you can register on-site and then vote. Click here to view Facebook page or email Sarah Saunders at cmyst123@gmail.com for details, location and carpool information! Please show up and vote!
