This morning was our county democratic party elections (rural Arizona county). As a member of the nominating committee I pushed to get some DFA and progressive types on the slate. Sure enough, they were voted in this morning. Whoo hoo!
Not only that, I am now one of 22 new state committee members of the Democratic Party. At least six of us are DFAers. Though, to be honest, our county party in Arizona is made up of progressive sorts, so this was incredibly easy to do.
If you are interested in achieving something like this, please, please, please, pleeeeeeease become a precinct captain/committee person. I got myself elected this last year and that put me in position to volunteer to be a candidate for the state party. I wouldn't have been able to do this without having that elected PC status.
January 22 is the first meeting of the state party down in Phoenix. I do hope that a lot of the new members come from the DFA. Anyone here planning to be at the meeting?
