Electing New State Committee Members
From Bruce Beardsley, LCDC Chairman
Dear Fellow Democrat:
In the upcoming primary election in May, 2010, Democratic voters in Lancaster County will elect individuals to serve four-year terms as Lancaster County representatives to the Pennsylvania State Democratic Committee. The Lancaster County Democratic Committee will endorse a slate of candidates to run in the primary at our Endorsement Convention on February 20, and with this letter we are inviting any interested county Democrat to submit their name for consideration.
To be eligible for endorsement, a person must be a registered Democratic voter in Lancaster County and must have had some involvement in Democratic political activity. Those considering submitting their names for possible endorsement should also be aware that being a Democratic State Committee member comes with certain responsibilities. For instance, it will require attendance at committee meetings held throughout the state three times a year. Attendance at these meetings is at the member’s expense. Also, members of state committee are also requested to financially support various committee activities throughout the year. Nominees must gather signatures on a petition to obtain a ballot position.
If you are interested in seeking endorsement for state committee from the Lancaster County Democratic Committee, please submit an application (Word Document) with a brief resume that includes your past political and community activity. The application deadline is Friday, January 15, after which you may be contacted to schedule an interview with our screening committee, which will be composed of our District Leaders and myself. The screening committee will then submit its recommended endorsements to the Lancaster County Democratic Committee at its February 20 convention.
If you have any questions, or need additional information, please contact me at 808-2116 or [email protected].
Happy Holidays,
Bruce Beardsley, Chairman
Lancaster County Democratic Committee
