Please join us as we welcome Beth Macy back to Page County on Sunday, September 13, from 5 to 7 pm, at River’s Bend Ranch!

Mid-Terms Election Activities
Voting Blue No Matter Who is critical to maintain the United States as a Democracy with proper checks and balances. It’s not hyperbole to say that this truly could be the last fair election in this country. Let’s do this and fire Ben Cline!
There are several ways Democrats can get involved prior to the November election; one does not need to be a PCDC member to participate.
- Canvassing: Canvass for the Warner/Macy ticket, or Ana Maria Mendez for District 5 School Board. If you are interested in canvassing, please contact either Skip Halpern (skiphalpern@outlook.com) or Mike Mudd (mikemudd777@gmail.com) and indicate the Saturday or Sunday in September and/or October you are available, and if you wish to canvass for Warner/Macy or Ana Maria.
- Volunteer in our tent during early voting: Volunteers will be needed for the PCDC tent during early voting, which begins September 18 and ends on October 31.The last two Saturdays (October 24 and 31) and Sundays (October 18 and 25) in October are particularly important. Early voting for Page County occurs at the County Administrator’s building, 103 S. Court Street. If you are available and interested in representing rural Democrats during early voting, please contact Mike Mudd.
- Staffing the PCDC HQ on Saturdays: The PCDC office is in the heart of downtown Luray, near Town Hall, Main Street Flavors ice cream, Saga Meadery, and the New Page Movie Theater. This is a very visible space with a lot of pedestrian traffic, particularly in the fall. HQ will be open on Saturdays from 9 am to 1 pm, the same time as the Farmer’s Market in the gravel lot next door, until late October. Local folks stop in as well as tourists from all over the country who are pleased Democrats have a presence in such a red region. If you are available to staff the HQ, please contact Pat Petralia (pjp7mail@gmail.com).
