Publicly open meeting for SLCo Democratic Party People w/ Disabilities Caucus Board. Only Board members will vote. Organizing for a couple meetings.

The municipal primary is nearly here, and we are getting out the vote for candidates who are the sole Democrat in their primary race. Join us to call Democratic voters, and remind them to return their ballots!

Join the Salt Lake County Democrats and the Salt Lake County Disability Caucus at Party HQ to write postcards and make phone calls in support of Democrats running in municipal races! These are candidates who are the only Democrat in their primary race, so it’s important that we support them in these last days before Primary Election Day!

This is a great way to support candidates if knocking doors isn’t your thing!

On Sunday, July 28th, 2019, the Salt Lake County Democratic Party is holding our annual Garden Party!

The Garden Party is one of our most popular annual events. We eat good food, socialize with candidates, community leaders and elected officials, play lawn games, and build our commitment to our communities in Salt Lake County.

The Salt Lake County Democratic Party just elected a new board, Emily Hase (Chair), Tyrell Aagard (First Vice Chair), Wendy Garvin (Second Vice Chair), Tim Barber (Secretary), and William Shiflett (treasurer). We are excited to keep building on our momentum from 2018 and have committed to accomplishing many goals that will benefit our local communities, and Salt Lake County at large. Come celebrate the first event with our new board and meet our new committee!

See you in the garden soon!
