ICYMI Video of the January 20 Meeting | Pine Tree Amendment Update & Meet the State Senate Candidates

The Lincoln County Democratic Committee (LCDC) held its monthly meeting on January 20, 2022, via Zoom. The meeting included three parts:

1. We received a Pine Tree Amendment Update from Guest Speakers: Sen. Chloe Maxmin and local activists Andy Burt and Michelle Henkin. Watch the video and see links in the notes below.
2. We were also introduced to two Democratic Candidates vying for the State Senate District 13 seat that Sen. Maxmin will be vacating. Watch the video to learn more about David Levesque of Newcastle and Cameron Reny of Bristol in this special Q&A with Chair, Chris Johnson. Candidate info in the notes below.
3. Last, Chris shared a presentation about our Caucus 2022 replacement plans. Due to the pandemic, we’re changing up what usually happens at Caucus every two years. The most important thing for you to know is that we’d like you to sign up to participate in this year’s online State Convention Delegate election before Sun, Feb 20, here. You may also use that link to nominate yourself to be a delegate or to volunteer to be an Election Clerk. And Here’s a copy of the presentation that explains all this and more in further detail along with key dates to be aware of

The next meeting will take place on February 17, our not-to-miss 2022 Campaign Kickoff!
