The Democractic Reunion: New Mexico
Chili's and a new direction are sure to fire up a crowd!
With just more 100 days until the November election, politicians and supporters alike enjoyed hot dogs, chips and soft drinks while getting to know one another as Chaves County Democrats began voter contact activities with a cookout.Two very young Democrats baked cookies in the shape of the party’s animal symbol, the donkey, and sold them, raising $18.55 for the party.
Before the candidates and incumbents took the microphone Friday at Cahoon Park, Kristine Trujillo, daughter of County Commissioner and overseas National Guardsmen Michael Trujillo, sang the national anthem.
Cookies for Sale!
DNC-funded Field Organizer, Angela, shares her Reunion Experience:
We held events in New Mexico last weekend. One of which was in Santa Fe County where New Mexico First Lady Barbara Richardson was a happy attendee. We also had a good turn-out in Grant and Taos Counties. There is another event coming up on August 5th, which the Lt. Governor, Diane Denish, will attend. Chaves County has been my biggest success.An earlier event, for Democrats from Socorro and Valencia Counties, was rained out, so I called county party members and then drove to their homes (the ones which weren’t in flooded areas) delivered door hangers and spent about half an hour with each volunteer explaining the importance of reaching 100 voters in the next 100 days.
In Roosevelt County the local Party Chairman hosted a BBQ and distributed about 500 door hangers. Members of the Curry County party were also in attendance, which was a great way to bring the two groups together. The two counties plan on joining forces in the next few months and The Democratic Reunion was only the beginning!
