Our precinct meeting will be this Thursday at 7:00 pm at the Santa Fe Depot Museum in Pauls Valley.

We will meet as a County for about 10 minutes for instructions and then break off into our individual Precinct Meetings to elect precinct officers. Remember, only precinct officers are considered delegates to the County Convention and eligible to vote for new county officers and delegates. These meetings probably won’t last much longer than 10-15 minutes and then we can leave or people can stay around until 8:00.

Saturday, April 6 10a.m. Santa Fe Depot – County Convention

We will meet as a county and Precinct Officers will elect new County Officers and Delegates to the District & State Conventions.

Please plan on showing up and attending this meeting.

Our next meeting will be this Saturday, January 5th at the Sante Fe Depot Museum in Pauls Valley. We will discuss Spring Democratic Party Officer elections.

Our September meeting will be Saturday, September 1st at 10:00 am at the Santa Fe Depot Museum in Pauls Valley. Plan on being there!

Saturday, July 7 at 10 a.m. we will meet in the Santa Fe Depot Museum in Pauls Valley. Joe Menefee will present information regarding the oil waste well they are wanting to drill east of Pauls Valley.

With the Primary over we will be looking at how to support our Democratic Candidates. Mike Fullerton for Senate around the Lindsay area, Susan Paddack for Senate in the rest of the county, Brian Spencer in House District 48 (south of Elmore City), Matt Branstetter in House District 20, Doris Row in House District 22 (Hilliard’s old one), Steven Vines in House District 42 (Billy) and Donna Bebo for U.S. Congress district 4 (Cole); and of course President Barack Obama.

Our county party really should hold a fund raiser to financially support these candidates. If you have no money to give, they can use your time and contacts. We can do this! Now is our time to restore some balance in the state and nation.

Yes, Republicans can outspend each of our candidates, but we all know how to work hard and we can get out the vote to fill those ballot boxes with Democratic voters – voting for Democrats. “I think I can”, “I think I can” will win the 2012 election. Come join yourself with other workers, together we will prevail!

See you Saturday the 7th – bring a friend.

The Garvin County Democratic Party will host a Democratic Candidate Forum on Saturday, June 9th at the Donald W. Reynolds Recreation Center (1005 N. Willow) in Pauls Valley. There will be a meet-and-greet with refreshments from 5:30 until 6:00 with candidate speeches set to begin at 6:00 and end by 7:30. All candidates with primary or general election opponents will be given an opportunity to speak. The time available to each candidate will depend on how many candidates attend.

Tables will be made available for candidates to distribute literature.

We would also like to encourage our office-holders who are unopposed in the general election to attend and be recognized for their service.
