News & Updates
Please join us in welcoming Hayley Johnson as CCDP’s newest Interim Office Manager! 

You may recognize Hayley from the work she did with the party as Volunteer Coordinator & Manager Intern in 2020 for the November election. Aside from politics, Hayley is a pet sitter, dancer, and actor. Hayley earned her BA from Allegheny College in 2018.

Hayley will oversee the administrative aspects at the office. If you’d like an event shared, need access to VoteBuilder, or need a Committee meeting scheduled, please email Hayley at hjohnson@cuydem.com. You can also reach her at the office telephone (216-621-9750). Please first direct all political questions to your City & Ward Leaders and/or Dem Club Presidents. 

“I could not accept this job without properly thanking the party headquarters team. Thank you Ryan Puente, Vicky Warden, Rudy Stralka, and Shontel Brown for warmly welcoming me into party headquarters and taking a chance on me with the Volunteer Coordinator Internship. I’d especially like to thank Ryan for teaching me everything on the job even when he was juggling a million other responsibilities. You will certainly be missed around the office but I wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors. I know you will soar immensely just as you did as the former Executive Director of CCDP.”

As we tip off a new year we recognize a very significant day in U.S. history, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Dr. King is known as the most important voice of the American Civil Rights Movement. He was a driving force in leading the fight for political and social freedom as well as equality for Blacks and People of Color. We continue to honor his service and his lasting impact on our country and what he stood for by participating in a day of service.
