“We had to make adjustments, but everyone pitched in to make this happen,” said Janet Chung, LCDP Chair. “Our volunteers and candidates are calling voters from home to talk to voters and discuss voting by mail for the May 12 primary election.”

NDP Chair Jane Kleeb said “County parties are the foundation for us to keep building the state party and winning elections. While we will miss seeing everyone at the local conventions this year, we encourage Democrats to register for their county convention to have a voice in local and state leadership. Your local county chair volunteers year-round to build a party for ‘We the people’ and we are proud to stand with them.”
