We’re Historic Triangle Dems!

We fundraise, campaign and get out the vote. We host speakers and candidate forums, write postcards, make phone calls and connect with our neighbors. And in the process of electing Dems and making government more responsive and more representative, we have a lot of fun.

Our new bylaws passed unanimously at our Dec. 18 meeting. There are now two ways to join the Historic Triangle Democrats: sign up as a voting member, which requires you to attend meetings, unless excused by the Chair, and allows you to vote on committee business, or as a supporting member, which allows you to attend meetings, contribute to discussion and participate in all of our activities.

In our amended bylaws, we also added four new positions to the Executive Committee — a Young Dems liaison, a volunteer coordinator, and at-large seats for Williamsburg-James City County and York-Poquoson.
