Our longtime friend Ellen Egan, owner of Egan Gardens has donated one dozen of their beautiful poinsettia plants for us to sell to support our work.

This is a great way to bring holiday cheer to your home or office or give as gift to lift someone else's spirits. Click here to buy one or more plants now before they are gone!

Plants will be available at the following dates/times at MCDCC headquarters at 245 High Street NE, Salem, OR 97301.

Tuesday, 12/8; 4:30-6:30

If you make a purchase and cannot make either date/time please contact Melissa Fey via feymelissa@gmail.com; 971-719-4591

Thank you for your support!

Statement from Carina Perez Europa, Chair, Marion County Democrats on the sudden passing of community leader, Dr. Selma Pierce.

"Selma Pierce was a spirited campaigner and committed to serving her community. Her story is one of a fighter and she displayed that in her service. We are keeping her and her family in our thoughts as they mourn the loss of their beloved wife and mother and celebrate her life."
