Cuyahoga County Democratic Party

News & Updates

Greetings Fellow Democrats,

In these polarized times, more than ever, our country needs educated voters who are willing to stand up for their beliefs using the ballot-box. It also needs citizens who are willing to engage their surrounding communities to create collective momentum for change.

This week, our hard-working members played a part in advancing this crucial cause at the local level.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all those who attended our Central Committee Precinct Training. Without active, engaged precinct-level involvement, the CCPD would not be able to make a difference in the community. As a result, the Party attaches high importance to any effort by our members to increase their engagement in the community.

The training sessions are held twice a month. For those of you who are interested in attending one of our sessions, we have provided more information below.

Finally, CONGRATULATIONS to our recently endorsed Democratic candidates for the 2019 municipal races in the cities of Lakewood, Fairview Park and Lyndhurst. Scroll below to see the endorsed candidates and please be sure to visit their websites and social media to learn more about them.

As always, your participation and support are greatly appreciated. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns or ideas.

Respectfully Yours,

Shontel Brown

Chair, CCDP

Cleveland Ward 15

Action to Verify Voters

Join throughout the summer in verifying registered voters in Cleveland's Ward 15! This effort, Action to Verify Voters (AVV), allows the club to assemble the most accurate and up-to-date voter roll so that we can align our efforts best in upcoming elections.

Volunteers will be checking the county's current voter roll by knocking on doors and verifying addresses. This will also offer an opportunity to register voters that have recently moved to the address. A script and materials will be provided.

Come for an hour, all day, or pick up a packet and return on a following AVV day. Dates and times are listed below. Please RSVP through this Facebook Event , via Messenger, or by emailing msommerfelt@wrobradio.com .
