On Saturday, March 25, 2023, the Plymouth County Democrats held their odd year caucus and biennial organizational meeting in the conference room of the Le Mars Public Library. In addition to other organizational activities, those present elected officers to serve a two-year term.
Julie Ford, of Akron, was elected to serve as Chair; Debra Kehrberg, of Hinton, was elected to serve as Vice Chair; Mary Milder, of Le Mars, was elected to serve as Secretary; and John Hines, of Le Mars, was reelected to serve as Treasurer.
Outgoing Chair Mark Sturgeon said he was happy to see new volunteers stepping forward to serve in these positions and believes this is the first time the positions of Chair and Vice Chair were both held by women.
The group acknowledged the many years of service of outgoing Secretary Dianne “Kay” Luckett by giving her a standing ovation and presenting her with a framed copy of “The ABC’s of Democracy,” quoting from part of Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ January 7, 2023, speech introducing incoming House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

Forwarding this information received from State Senate candidate Dave Dawson. If you haven’t attended a Dawson event yet or want to talk with Dave again, please consider attending and bring a friend or two. Also, Dave is knocking on doors all the time (hardest working candidate I’ve worked with), and can always always use extra help. Please help Dave however you can.

Here is Dave’s info:
After completing 12 meetings so far, I have 8 town meetings left, including 4 in Woodbury and 4 in Plymouth. You are all invited to attend any or all of the meetings in your respective counties.

The locations and times are updated each week on my website www.dawsonforiowa.com as they are scheduled. I normally door knock in the town immediately after the town meeting to catch voters at home while I’m in their town. You can join me for door knocking as well, but let me know by Thursday before so I can be sure to have enough door material for you to join me.
Thanks,
Dave Dawson
