Washington State Democratic Chairs Organization

Here is the finished booth. All ready for the fair. Terry

This is what our Wheat Land Communities Fair booth looks like. Hope you like it and let me know if it came through OK.

We will also have a golf cart in the parade for the Democrats. Ken and Barb Caylor, Ken is running for office, will be riding. If there is room so will I with candy to throw.

Dear County Chairs,

We have received a few questions about PCO races in the context of the new Top Two Primary.

PCO races will appear on the ballot after all ballot measures and other offices. Voters will be instructed:

“If you consider yourself a Democrat or Republican, you may vote for a candidate of that party.”

Candidates will be listed by party, and the candidate from each party who receives the most votes will be declared elected.

I just put together a comparison of how Washington Counties did in the last two Presidential elections.

I gave a presentation to the 2008 Washington GIS Conference at Seattle Center on Tuesday, May 6th, and I wanted to offer a copy of the presentation that I put together. I included a lot of graphics, and very few words, letting the pictures do the work while I spoke about what we are doing with open source tools and open datasets.

Enjoy!

After the Congressional District Caucuses on May 17th, I would like to put the two campaigns to work building our infrastructure. We need the Delegates and Alternates from the Precinct Caucuses to join the party and become PCO's, and we need them to file for that office with the county elections departments.

I'm not new to programming, but I'm not a professional. Every website I build is always a work in progress as a learn new things and develop new and better techniques. This website in particular, along with the 46th District site, is where I've been learning and experimenting with database connections. I just put up a few pages as part of this 'work in progress' that are in a condition that I can share with you.

List of Counties

Attached is the March newsletter from the 27th LD.

I'm collecting information on when and where the rest of the caucus cycle events are going to be held.

Please see the list here.

If you see a blank next to your LD, County or CD, please contact me with what is missing.

I'm also building a map to show all of these events.

We just got the shapefiles for the Mason County precincts. This means we only have Lewis County to find, and we will have a complete map of Western Washington.
