We are very fortunate to have such experienced, thoughtful and energetic Democratic candidates – Let’s Support Them!!

Our chairman of the Sarasota Democratic Party Dan Kuether outlined critical ways we can support our highly qualified Democratic candidates:

  • Pick up a yard sign – check with Democratic Party Headquarters
  • Attend the State of the party call June 24th 7-8pm Virtual Call see Mobilize.us
  • Donate to the Sarasota County Democratic Party – funds will be well utilized to Get Out The Vote. In addition to mailers, we are raising billboards, ramping up social media outreach to younger voters, and getting the word out on Hispanic radio.
  • Keep in mind the August 20th election -the final and critical opportunity to vote for our School Board candidates Tom Edwards and Liz Barker. The Last Day to Register To Vote Is 7/22/24.  If you will be out of town in August, be sure to provide the Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections your out-of-state address.  Stop by the office at 101 S. Washington Blvd in Sarasota or go online to sarsotavotes.gov  The Post Office will NOT forward ballots in the mail.

June 7th:  Again, a fantastic turnout for the Day of Action:  every seat was filled as we stuffed mailers.  Grand total: almost 8,500 mailers sent out to inactive Democratic Women to encourage them to reengage!   Great conversations, and new friends made!
