A BIG thank you to everyone who came out for our semi-annual caucus to elect our leadership for the next election cycle culminating in the 2024 election season. We will be posting our upcoming meetings in the near future.
The Democrats of Amherst strive for a safe and inclusive community.
We condemn violence — both physical and verbal. We are saddened by the recent increase in attacks on Asian Americans, including the murders in Georgia. When another shooter took more lives in Colorado, we received the news with more grief and worry. In our own community, we have been disheartened by ongoing threats against a recent high school graduate who has spent the past year serving in the state legislature as a Democratic representative from Amherst.
As a result of its caucus on Saturday, 1/30/2021, the Democrats of Amherst have elected a new Executive Board to serve until the next caucus in 2023. Our heart-felt congratulations to these new board members, and our sincere thanks to our outgoing board.
Amherst residents active participants on the Amherst Democrtaic Committee Pat and Penny Eggleeston were recognized for their tireless grassroots efforts at the HCDC grassroots awards dinner. Our thanks and congratulations go out to them!
Ever wonder what the Register of Probate does? We vote for the position on election day, but many people don’t realize what the position has become. This year’s Democratic candidate, Elizabeth Ropp, discusses the position, and why she decided to run for office in a recent editorial she wrote on the subject: Register to Probate – Should it stay or should it go?
Elizabeth is deeply committed to our communities. She has worked hard to do her part to help address the opioid crisis (seen above testifying before the legislature on this subject), demonstrating her commitment to the citizens of Hillsborough County. We hope you vote for her on November 6, 2018!
