 LD2's FIRST HYBRID MEETING! 

pvcc_first_meeting.jpeg

Thanks to those of you who attended our first in-person hybrid meeting – it was wonderful to meet old and new faces in our new venue. Special thanks to our two Democratic candidates for Governor: Aaron Lieberman and Marco Lopez who’ve now made it even harder to decide who to select in our primary 😊.


We also heard from Representative Judy Schwiebert with a legislative update and AZ Senate candidate Jeanne Casteen on the reasons why we need to get them elected in 2022. Julie Coburn from NARAL outlined ways you can help now by contacting Federal legislators and let them know you want them to support the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA). We also heard from school board candidates running in all of our school districts covering LD2 – it’s so important to get these individuals on the ballot.


Suffice it to say, if you didn’t attend, you missed out on a great meeting.


Make sure you plan to attend our next meeting which is on June 15th at 6:30pm with a candidate meet and greet / petition signature time from 6-6:30pm.

DESIGN A NEW LD2

LD2 LOGO

AND WIN A GIFT CARD!


Wanted: Logo designs for LD2 Democrats.


We have started to receive some submissions for our new LD2 logo, but we need more – this will be the logo which we’ll use for the next 10 years.


This logo will be incorporated into our social media platforms, printed materials, name badges, banners, t-shirt, and more so that we have a consistent look and feel to our “brand”. You don’t have to live in LD2, nor do you have to be a PC in order to submit your artwork. You can enter more than once. However, only PCs can vote for the winning logo at our June 15th LD meeting (provided we have an adequate number of submissions). Winner will receive a gift card.


Here are the details:

  • It must specify our LD number
  • It must include the word Dems or Democrats
  • It can not include any copyrighted material
  • The LD2 Board reserves the right to reject unsuitable submissions
  • Deadline for submission: June 6th


Questions? Contact LD2 First Vice Chair Meg Patel at disruptivecharm@gmail.com

  LD2 HAPPY HOURS RETURN  

 ON JUNE 14TH FROM 5-7PM!  


Come celebrate Flag Day with us. As a way to introduce our group in an effort to attract more people to LD2 Democrats while supporting local businesses, your LD2 Board is bringing back Happy Hour events starting in June.


We will begin in the Northern section of LD2 and need your help to promote this event. We’ll be dropping fliers at our Democratic neighbors doors inviting them to join us. Need lit droppers and drivers.


Sign up to help out by contacting: Aaron Connor at: agconnor71@gmail.com


We will be making two more stops in the LD before the November election. Do you have a recommendation for a local business, preferably owned by a Democrat, please send us your recommendation to: chair@azld2dems.org

HELPING OUR LD2 CANDIDATES CORNER


Do you have a pick-up truck? Can you help bring folding chairs to various events for our LD2 candidates such as house parties and candidate in the park events?


If so, please contact Mary Fortney, LD2 Campaign Manager, at: mfortney@azdem.org or 602-376-7453 for more details


What are the other ways you can help? Can you make phone calls? Can you help knock on neighborhood doors? Can you drive a door knocker which is especially important in the summer?


Can you host a house party with your neighbors? These are just some of the ways you can help our LD2 Candidates get their message out to our voters. This is especially important in the regions of our district where we don’t have any PC representation which we learned about our April meeting.


Please contact our LD2 Campaign Organizer, Taylor Nelson who will be able to find just the right opportunity where you can get involved; she can be reached at 515-822-4022 or tnelson@azdem.org


A small sampling:

  • 05/21 from 3-5pm - Phonebank, make calls from the comfort of your home or ANY place

As you know, LD2 is split between Deer Valley Unified School District (DVUSD), Paradise Valley Unified School District (PVUSD), and Washington Elementary School District (WESD) / Glendale Union High School District (GUHSD).


At the very least, each PC should contact the appropriate individuals representing your school district and help them out by getting them 10 signatures. Most individuals will be in attendance at our LD2 May meeting.
