This has certainly turned into an interesting primary season in the Democratic Party!! I hope everyone got out to vote. The turnout set a record for a primary in Maryland, as has been the case in many states. I know many of us were involved with the campaigns and are probably glad our part is over, at least for now. While the primaries are ongoing in other parts of the country, it is time for us to start looking toward uniting behind the eventual candidate for the fall election. The beauty for us in this election is that we have two excellent candidates who are very similar in their positions on the issues that mean most to us as Democrats!!

At our February meeting, we will begin to look forward to the fall election season. We will have an open discussion of how we help with the healing process from a hard fought campaign. Then we will look at how we start building our structures as a club to prepare for the November election and beyond. Three members have agreed to help us with that discussion. They include MaryJo Neville (a Super-delegate to the convention), Cathy Zomlefer (member of HoCo Dem Central Committee) and Tony McGuffin (former Chair of HCDCC and founding member of WHCDC). Each one will bring a different perspective to the discussion.

As always, please come with your ideas and energy! I hope to see you all at the February meeting!!
