The heat was ON this Saturday in Cornwall-on-Hudson at the Cornwall Democratic Committee’s Third Annual Fired UP! Fundraiser/pizza party. More than 100 Democrats, friends, elected officials, kids, and supporters lined up to enter and talk about what’s got their blood boiling as we head into election season. Our friend Justin with the mobile oven came out of retirement to serve fire-roasted pizzas, while the Committee served up beverages and desserts, candidate statements, music, campaign literature, a Presidential straw poll (EW by a landslide), and camaraderie.
As analysts note, places like Cornwall are heating up for Democratic politics, partly because of demographic changes but also because well-educated populations (and Cornwall is above average in that regard) recognize that it takes people working together to run a country (or a Town). And there’s only one major political party that has that value at its core.
That—plus a ton of hard work by the CDC’s Events & Fundraising subcommittee—is why we think this year’s Fired Up! was the biggest yet.
