Chairman's Corner
|
Chair Elizabeth Callahan extends a warm welcome to all Democrats in Strafford. We encourage you to join us person or online for our next meeting on June 6.
Our summer raffle is now open, and we've got some amazing prizes this year. Please spread the word about this exciting way to support our committee. Buy tickets early and often! These fundraisers give us the means to boost our Democratic candidates during the election season. Last month we held our first-ever joint committee meeting with the Barrington Town Democrats. Strafford and Barrington share two House legislative districts, so it makes sense to work together. We'll try for another joint meeting sometime this fall. The Barrington Democrats are holding a giant yard sale on July 15 at Golicks Dairy Bar on Route 125. We want to support this effort by shopping the sale and donating things to sell. If you have items in good condition you would like to contribute, let us know at strafforddems@gmail.com. We'll be collecting items and getting them over to Barrington the week before the sale. So much is at stake as we continue to educate voters and protect democracy. Please stay in touch and get involved. Committee T-shirts are available for $15; email requests to strafforddems@gmail.com. Wear blue, vote blue! |

Watch Andru Volinsky talk about school funding & property tax here. Volinsky was the lead attorney in the landmark Claremont school funding case. Citizens of towns like Strafford need to understand how the current school funding system imposes inequities on students, property taxpayers, and the economies of local communities.
