Town of Strafford Democratic Committee

We are a local grassroots organization in Strafford, NH working to elect Democrats in all levels of government.  Our next meeting is Tuesday June 6, 7:00 PM, at the Hill Library.  



​Planning Underway for Summer Blueberry Festival!!
The Strafford Town Democrats have a fun and tasty new fundraiser in the works for this summer, a Blueberry Festival and Bake-off.  A few details follow to whet your blueberry appetite, but definitely save the date (July 29!) and plan to join us for some blueberry picking and raking days in mid-July.  We'll be doing more planning at our regular meeting on June 6 at the Hill Library, at our usual 7 p.m. start time. 

The Blueberry Festival and Bake-off will be a chance to taste and enjoy all things blueberry, from muffins and pie to blueberries and ice cream.  We hope you bring out your best blueberry treats and join the competition! Home-baked pies, jams and pastries will be for sale, as well as high-bush blueberries by the basket and frozen wild blueberries by the pound. 

Come celebrate Strafford’s local food and bakers. Watch for more details here. 

​Our local Democratic State Rep Candidates 

Picture
Thank you to Ellen Phillips and Bob Perry who knocked on too many doors to count, spoke to  hundreds of voters, and worked very hard to win their well deserved votes.  We need to keep our elected state representatives, Michael Harrington and Kurt Wuelper accountable for representing all of their constituents in Strafford and New Durham.  

Notable Quote:

"People often say with pride, 'I'm not interested in politics.'  They might as well say, 'I'm not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future or any future...'  If we mean to keep control over our world and lives, we must be interested in politics."   -- Martha Gellhorn (1908 -1998)  American novelist, travel writer and journalist
