In his remarks to the convention, County Chair Cliff
Wilson called on the party to unite as one to defeat Republicans. "Now we
have to prove to the voters we have the right to govern and we have to give
people a reason why they should choose us to govern. And this past week Paul
Scoles and Bryan Lentz and Peter Hickok have shown Democrats and voters that
we are a party that is responsible and reasonable in its politics and that we
are able to unite and put aside personal political quests and agendas for the
good of all the voters."
Speeches from the convention will soon be added to the
party website.
