BRATTLEBORO — For the 2018 election, the Windham County Democratic Committee has replaced its traditional campaign office with a community social to engage with your local Democratic community working for change.
The “Your Vote Is Your Voice” event is to be held at 118 Elliot Street in Brattleboro on Friday, Oct. 26, from 6 to 11 p.m.
Local and state candidates along with Windham County residents will discuss the coming election on Nov. 6 - ways to prepare, actions to take, and resources available, as well as planning for future moves beyond Election Day.
Windham Democratic Committee chair Tristan Toleno said in a news release that the committee was “exploring ways that we could bring county residents into the political conversation in ways that fostered more creativity and collaboration.”
He said that a social “is a fun and relaxed venue for encouraging these open conversations between community members and with candidates about common goals for the future.
“We know people want change and sometimes feel unsure what to do, that's why we want everyone to feel they can get involved and have a voice. The energy of connection and hope is necessary for the road ahead, so the more the merrier.”
The Oct. 26 social will feature information tables for issues and organizations, along with numerous Democratic candidates, including Christine Hallquist and David Zuckerman, the respective governor and lieutenant governor candidates, and Sara Coffey, who is running to fill the vacated House seat in Windham-1 for Vernon and Guilford.
