Okaloosa Democrats Form

'Letters to the Editor' Team

 

We realize the political climate in the Panhandle is often contrary to our Democratic values. The good news is, being vocal and visible can shift the narrative and begin to change the culture. This won't happen overnight, but it won't happen at all if we don't make our voices heard.

 

We want to have this effort going strong by the time we move into the 2020 election season. If you are willing to help by writing occasional letters to the editor (LTE), please join us at the first meeting of our LTE Team:


Date: Tuesday May 14
Time: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Location: Okaloosa Democrats Office, 1270 Eglin Pkwy, Ste C-10, Shalimar

 

If you'd like to help but this day/time doesn't work for you, please email our Chair, Tracey Tapp, at Chair@okaloosademocraticparty.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
