John,
Like many of you, I am still processing the results from Election Night and the implications for the future of our Country and the democracy we hold so dear to our hearts. I can report that the DNC has begun conversations regarding chair elections that are scheduled in February. As your president I can advise that I have been in conversation with the DNC members of Virginia and continue my role of advocating for Young Democrats and a party built for our future.
As more information comes, I will let you know. AYD will also embark in reviewing our membership engagement practices too ensure that we are fostering 360 communications amongst our chapter.
The first step to implementing this will be electing our new E-Board. at the time of application close the following have submitted their name for consideration.
-
President: Bryant Atkins
- Vice President: Austin Locke
- Secretary: Kaitlyn Goyal
- Membership Director: Bryan Coleman
-
Treasurer: Phil Kattato
- Diversity and Inclusion Director: Mark Perlman
The following positions are open and any eligible member can seek a floor nomination at our Election Meeting this Tuesday, November 19th, 2024 at 6:30 PM. We will be meeting at Lubber Run Community Center in the Hickory Room.
- Community Service Director
-
Political Director
- Campaign Director
- Party Representative
More information about these positions can be found here. If you are unable to attend our election meeting and you are an eligible member, you may request an absentee ballot here .
Finally, at the Arlington Democrats November Meeting last Wednesday, I gave remarks about the election and a glimpse into our path forward. The full remarks can be found here.
The next four years will be a long fight for us, but together we will get through this and win back control and continue to institute a government for all Americans.
