February 16, 2024 (Update on previously posted meeting notice:
Aloha Kakou,
Hawai’i County Democrats District 5 (Portions of Kea‘au and Kurtistown, Mountain View, Glenwood, Fern Forest, Volcano, Pāhala, Punalu‘u, Nā‘ālehu, Wai‘ōhinu, Hawaiian Ocean View and Ho‘okena) will meet virtually at 2PM, Sun., Feb. 18, 2024 to prepare for the very important in-person-only meeting from 6-8PM Wed., March 6, 2024 in 3 D5 locations to conduct the Hawai’i Democratic Party’s Primary Presidential Primary (PPP) and Biennial District Elections.
All D5 party members are invited to the Feb. 18 virtual meeting and if interested, please email Gretchen12447@hotmail.com for the zoom link. Must be a party member or enroll please, which can be done quickly online. Must be registered to vote in Hawai’i County D5. (Email Gretchen if assistance needed w/ voter registration or party enrollment.)
Regarding the PPP: there are currently five candidates that have registered to run for US President in Hawai’i.
After voting in the PPP on March 6, D5 members will conduct District Council and County and State Convention delegate elections.
The Feb. 18 meeting is an “all hands on deck” call out since we will need the current District 5 Council Members to declare their candidacy or make a determined effort to find a replacement candidate. We will also need the help of the current Council to run the PPP and Biennial Election of the District Council.
Also participating in the virtual meeting will be D5 member Diana Van de Car, a long time Party Activist, who will provide a brief overview of her get-out-the-vote efforts for the 2024 Presidential Election and current legislative advocacy for a Hawai’i Constitutional Amendment re: LGBTQIA+ rights.
Questions? Please call or email.
Please share this with family, friends, neighbors, and your D5 network. Individuals can register to vote and/or update voter registration, and/or enroll in the Democratic Party online and participate in both Sunday’s meeting and the March 6 PPP and Biennial Elections. This is a very important election year – your voice is needed and welcome!
