Message from the County Chairman - State Legislative Campaigns

This year we have a number of new candidates for state legislative seats. They are facing the difficult task of campaigning against well funded long-time incumbent conservative Republicans and competing for campaign donations with our Presidential and US Senate candidates.
 
As our candidates hold fundraisers and you get invitations please see if you can make the effort to attend and/or donate. They are giving their time and a year of their life to present the Democratic message and stand for our party - they will not receive assistance from the state party because the state campaign committee targets only open seats (i.e. those without incumbents). They will not receive contributions from special interests because most if not all of those have already made their deal with the Republican incumbents. So they must depend upon your support and generosity to raise the funds to print the literature that allows them to take our message to the voters.

The first of these coming up is on July 2 for Rose Izzo. You may have read in the press of Rose's impressive write-in primary against a well funded effort by the 28 year Republican incumbent Nick Miccozie to hijack our party line and prevent a contest in November. With the solid support of the party in the 163rd district Rose won with 75% of the vote. Now we need to wage a general election havaing already spent the limited dollars we could raise for her.

Rose Izzo's BBQ Fundraiser 
Friday July 2nd from 5:30 to 8:30
at her home:  2226 Clayton Rd., Ridley
 
Please send donations of $25 per person to:  Elect Rose Izzo
                                                                  2226 Clayton Road
                                                                  Morton PA 19070
 
More information on events for our candidates in other legislative districts will be sent as details are finalized.
