Dear NCW Democrats and Friends, Our system of checks and balances is working, though not fast enough for most of us. Please keep shining a light on the path forward – we’re all in this together! Notes for THIS WEEK and coming soon: Tuesday 10/15/2019: Take a Democratic “Coffee Break” 10a—noon, at Dem HQ, 768 S Mission, Wenatchee. Come to catch up on local activities in an informal daytime setting. These coffee gatherings happen in Wenatchee on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month. Drop in! Tuesday 10/15/2019, 5pm: 4th Presidential Primary Debate Watch Parties hosted in 3 locations by NCW Democrats. Milepost 111 (Cashmere), Bob’s Burgers & Brew (E Wen), private residence (Manson). Twelve candidates will be in this debate. Friday 10/18/2019: BALLOTS expected to arrive in our mailboxes. If you don’t receive yours before the following Monday, call your county elections office. Remember that you can register AND vote up until 8p on election day, if you go to your election office. You can register or update your voter registration by mail or online until 10/28/2019. Check out what’s in your personal voter file and on your ballot at https://voter.votewa.gov/WhereToVote.aspx. Between NOW and 11/5: Volunteer to help one or more of your favorite candidates running for non-partisan offices this year. Spoiler alert: there are Democrats on our ballots! They need an army of support to win their races. Research shows that a friendly knock on the door by a sincere candidate or volunteer is THE most effective way to influence a voter. Try it – you may find you like it! Also, if you’d like a short phone list of Democrats to “nudge” to vote before the election, let us know! Or stop by the office and we’ll make phone calls together!
