Democratic Legacy Award Announced
Marion County Democrats today announced it will present the first ever, "Judy Sugnet
Democratic Legacy Award
."
Named for longtime Democratic Party champion, Evan Sorce, Chair said,
"for decades one constant at the Marion County Democrats has been Judy Sugnet. Judy has been an active Precinct Committee Person, a State Central Committee member, and even spent a number of years as the Chair of our County Party. Judy has spent a lifetime working to improve the life’s of working Oregonians; it only makes sense that we name a the Marion County Democrats lifetime achievement award after Judy."
"Judy’s dedication and efforts for Marion County Democrats and the Democratic Party of Oregon are an example of how one person can inspire and lead others to make a difference for many," said Barbara Fuller, former Chair of MCDCC.
The official unveiling of the award and presentation to Judy will be at this year's Monroe Sweetland Dinner and Auction, October 5th.
We invite you to join us in celebrating the decades of service Judy has given to Oregon Democrats.
