Tri-City Democrats – Friday, November 13, Cancelled
Greetings fellow Democrats!
Our normal gathering date for November would be November 13. However, Governor Bob Ferguson’s 3rd Annual Tri-Cities Dinner has been scheduled for that date. After due consideration, the board has recommended that we cancel our gathering and encourage our members to attend the Ferguson dinner. Tickets to the Ferguson dinner are available here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/26tricitiesdinner
We plan to have a Holiday-themed gathering on December 11. Details of that event will be publshed soon.
Thanks!

Election Day proved what happens when Democrats show up and run everywhere. And we mean everywhere. We won races that hadn’t been won by a Democrat in generations. And every one of those winners started exactly where you are now, with a decision and a deadline.
You’ve decided to run. Now you need a plan, and your filing deadline is around the corner.
Launch Plan is NDTC’s free program that walks you through everything you need to figure to get ready to file: who is going to be your first call when you need advice or to fundraise, what is your core message, and how many votes will you need to win. You can go at your own pace, and when you’re done, you’ll have usable plan.
Let’s keep up the momentum. Let’s get you ready to run.
