From the Chair...

Dear Cornwall Democrats and Friends,

Wow!

A lot has happened since July 21, when President Biden announced that he would not seek re-election. First to acknowledge his courage and patriotism in stepping aside and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as our Presidential candidate! Joe Biden will already go down in history as one of our most accomplished presidents. And now, rather than hold onto power to serve his own ego, he passed the baton and ignited, potentially, one of the most exciting political moments of our time. Let’s be a part of this history making.

The Democratic party is united and energized like we haven’t seen in a long time. There is momentum that we need to build on and there are only about 104 days until the election! I know some of us are already knocking on doors for Pat Ryan and that’s great! More opportunities will be forthcoming. Please be ready to do whatever you can to help our candidates, up and down the ballot, get elected this November; whether it’s door knocking, phone banking, postcard writing or making a donation. Even a small donation makes a big impact! Knocking on 10 doors is better than knocking on no doors. Every little bit counts and we will need all hands on deck.

For now, let’s take a moment to reflect on what is at stake in this election and make a promise to do the work needed to get our candidates elected. Help spread the word and encourage others to volunteer their time. I will keep you updated on the next steps!

This is big.

Sincerely,

Barbara Smith Gioia,
Chair, Cornwall Democratic Committee
