June
June was an exciting month so far!
We elected new DNC delegates at the State Committee meeting in Allentown, PA (see our SM pages for those results). We held a rally at Memorial Park, Danville where over 100 voters from across the Valley gathered to hear Amanda Waldman, Patty Lawton, Malcolm Kenyatta and MORE, as we raised our voices in support of reproductive freedoms in America! And we still have twelve days to go!!
We have opened a Google Form for any interested persons to sign up for specific roles such as, “Fundraising”, “Voter Outreach”, and more! Use the link below to fill out the form and get started!
May
At our May Committee meeting, we heard from guest speakers Kay Jones, of the Backyard Democrats, Patty Lawton, candidate for PA Senate, as well as Northumberland Co voter and past PA House of Representatives write-in candidate, Jason Radel.
🌊We learned of some very exciting community events being sponsored by the Backyard Dems (TBA).
🌟We heard from Patty about her campaign against Republican Senator Linda Schlegel-Culver and her historical run against her in 2022!
🗳️We were given insight from Mr. Radel on how to start a write in campaign, and the importance of making sure we have Democrats running for the many GOP held, historically uncontested PA seats.
Our Chair will venture to the Summer State Committee Meeting in June to elect the PA delegates to the Democratic National Committee for this term! Watch for those results and know who is representing you at the DNC!
April
Join us on April 5th for our Monthly Committee Meeting. Microsoft Teams meeting link will be available on all of our social media pages!
February-March
The Montour Co Democratic Committee needs you! As we work hard to get Democrats on the ballot in April, we will also be holding membership and volunteer drives. Follow us on your favorite social media sites to be the first to know when and where we will be. https://www.fb.com/montourdems

Together we will hear directly from President Biden about the progress we have made under his leadership and his vision for the future.

The MCDC will seek to hold a Meet-and-Greet stand at the Delong County Fair at the end of July. Please reach out to any committee member to volunteer or donate materials.
WE NEED YOU!!! Beginning in August, we will advertise and hold meetings open to the public as we grow our committee and community involvement! Watch out for our exciting new calendar of events!

April
All hands on deck, as we prepare to elect Trevor Finn, 108th District PA Representative, and a Democrat to the 1st Ward Danville Borough Council!
March
Congratulations to
TREVOR FINN
of Danville, PA, for his being named as the Democratic Candidate for the House of Representatives 108th district, replacing Rep. Schlegel-Culver!!! It is of the utmost importance that we get Trevor into this seat and it can only be done by getting everyone to VOTE in May!!
Please reach out to any committee member for information of helping our efforts to elect Trevor!
February
In February we began the work of electing Danville municipal and state-wide Judiciary Candidates. Petitions were circulated, campaigns were hatched, and we are happy to pass along that we have Democrats running for nearly every position available in Montour County! That in itself is a feat, considering there was less than 3 on municipal ballots the past several years!
Thank you all so much for stepping out of your comfort zones and into the arena of public service!
January
Our friends at the CCDC said it best! Congratulations to Patty’s unprecedented campaign and we look forward to her future endeavors.
