“We have the team we need to succeed in 2020.”
Concord, N.H. - Today, the New Hampshire Democratic Party announced the winners of the ten county and two city committee caucuses, who will play a leadership role in their communities helping Democrats win up and down the ticket in 2020. County Democratic Committees, as well as the Manchester and Nashua City Committees, caucus every two years - in off years - to elect their Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Delegate(s) at Large. Any registered Democrat can run for and vote for any elected officer position. The caucuses, which were held over the past two months, attracted more than 650 attendees. Last night, New Hampshire Democrats concluded this year’s caucuses with Merrimack County’s caucus. “Democrats have come together to elect officers who will lead the effort in communities across the state to share the Democratic Party’s vision for creating good paying jobs, protecting women’s rights, making college affordable, and rebuilding the middle class,” said Ray Buckley, chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party. “It’s clear that with these local leaders - many of whom are rising Democratic stars - we have the team we need to succeed in 2020 and beyond.” Notably, the elected officers and delegates are majority women, and many are young Democrats who have potential to be the Party’s next rising stars.
