Clovis Democrats February 2016 President’s Newsletter
The results of the New Hampshire primaries have just come in as I sit down to write this column. It looks like all bets are off for this election cycle as Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump appear to be decisively in the lead in this early stage. This could be a history-making election with the country veering in a populist direction. It could be scary if one of these candidates, not of a Democratic persuasion, prevails. The next few weeks will be crucial.
It is definitely time to be involved. Several of us took the precinct leader training this week and found it to be a very doable activity with good support and materials available. Let me know if you would be interested in participating. There is much to do to reach voters and make sure that the Democratic vote comes out for the June primaries and the November election!

January 2016 President’s Newsletter
2016 is here and the first primaries of this presidential election year are less than a month away. While every election feels like the future hangs in the balance, this year does so more than ever. Perhaps this is because there is so much rhetoric being thrown around that only a few years ago would have been considered way out of the mainstream of American thought. This is definitely a year to be involved. Come to our meetings to keep up on issues and to learn ways to be involved. While we don’t have local campaigns in which to participate, there are crucial elections in surrounding districts where the potential exists to send more Democrats to Sacramento or Washington. Opportunities abound. Now is the time to get active!
As always, editorial comments or suggestions are welcome.
