NOTE: Attending the District 5 Meeting, you don’t have to be a Democratic party member, but you can only vote if you have officially enrolled in the Democratic Party and live in the district.
Prior to the Nov. 7 D5 meeting, I would like each of you to identify 3 to 8 issues for our District, County or State that you think should be included in the HCC’s Standing Policy Committee’s Agenda. Please email your recommended issues to Gretchen to compile and discuss during the meeting, vote to prioritize and then send the top 8 to Gregor Ilagan, who offered to chair that committee.
