Checking In

March 25, 2020

Fellow Democrat,

It’s been a few days since we’ve checked in with all of you. We want you to know that we are doing everything we can to navigate through these uncertain and unprecedented times. The safety and health of all of you is our top priority. We have taken measures to keep our staff safe, to keep all of you safe, and to ensure that our progress keeps moving forward even though it may look a little different now. 

We are working together via phone and electronically to do the best we can to ensure that 2020 is a successful year for Democrats. In order to be successful, we have to be safe. Working with the DNC, we have rescheduled our County Conventions under the advisement of national and local leaders and health officials. We are trying to make it as simple as possible for Democrats to vote in the Primary Election since now ALL WEST VIRGINIANS are able to request an Absentee Ballot. We will continue working to provide information and help to all of our committees, partners, and voters. 

Any information that we provide to you, please share with your fellow Democrats and friends. 

 

1. Working with the DNC, we have made the decision to postpone and reschedule our County Conventions. County Conventions were originally scheduled for this Saturday, March 28th but now will be held on Saturday, May 16th. We will get more information out to you (such as adjusted deadlines) as it becomes available.
