Hello Fellow Dems! June 18, 2026
We welcomed our new Logan County Democratic Central Committee this month and I feel very good about this committee. We also have our Executive Committee set up for the next four years and our officers elected. We are off to a great start and we are looking forward to a great mid-term Election!
We also approved the new by-laws that hadn’t been updated since 2017 so that was desperately needed. Thank you to those involved!
We are still waiting for our TV for the meetings to get mounted on the wall but I promise it is coming.
The equal rights and marriage petitions will not be on the ballot this November. They are now shooting for next year. We will continue to collect signatures for petitions.
Pineapple Palooza was canceled due to the poor weather forecast and high winds and it’s been rescheduled for July 25. It promises to be even bigger and better. We will also have some free tickets in the office although not many so first come first serve. We also plan to use some for door prizes at the fair.
We have started working the concession stand at Southview Park and it has been a lot of fun. The Parks committee is also looking for volunteers to help out on July 3 at Blue Jacket Park for the fireworks festival that day. It’s just a snack and drink table so no cooking and easy work. If you are able to help just let us know.
Our Summer Picnic is scheduled for Aug 6 at Indian Lake. Please save the date. This will be at Pirates Cove this year 7323 Port Royal Ave Russells Point. It’s just down the street from Woody’s or La Pizzeria. It’s a very nice shelter house with adjacent swimming pool all close to the front entrance. Social hour starts at 5 and we will eat promptly at 6pm. This will be a potluck meal with Dems providing hamburgers & hot dogs and water. Please bring the family and come on out!
I want to give a special shout out to Joshua Lee for doing a major clean up for a family in need this week. The lady called our office asking if we could help as her son’s house needed work prior to his coming home from surgery and rehab. Josh was very willing to step up and complete the job. THANK YOU!
The Logan County Fair runs from July 12 thru the 18 this year and we are in need of volunteers to staff the booth. You get a free pass into the fair for working so please let us know if you can help out. I expect we’ll get a lot of attention this year. You can go to Logan County Democrats: 2026 Logan County Fair to sign up for a shift online. Parking is on your own.
I did not get this newsletter out in time for Pridefest held Saturday June 13 but it was a great time and a lot of fun for all. We had our Lemon Shake Up stand in front of the Holland Theatre and we were busy! Thanks to Jackson Brannon it went very smoothly!
I have been asked to include this information in the newsletter:
“My name is Tesa Jordan and I am honored to be selected as the coordinator for Logan County to help mobilize volunteers to support our candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Dr. Amy Acton and David Pepper. Working against our opponent’s vast warchest of funds, it’s going to take all of us using our best resources to counter the lies. What resources? WORD OF MOUTH and volunteering your precious time! My first ask is that you go to https://actonforgovernor.com/get-involved/, click off the donor screen and click on the Get Involved link at the top of the page to fill out the volunteer form. Or alternatively you can text VOLUNTEER to 71546. This will not trigger donor emails.
Thank you in advance for your help! With everyone’s support we will elect Amy Acton and David Pepper to the Governor’s seat!
If you have questions. Text me at 419-302-8848.” Thank you Tesa for taking on that responsibility!
We are in the process of organizing planning committees for the local Dem party. We used to have them and I guess technically we still do it’s just the same few people on them but we are going to change that. All CC seats are asked to participate in at least one committee. Those committees are currently Recruitment, Visibility, By-Laws, Finance and Social Media. We can add committees if they are needed but we have tried to streamline them as best we can to keep it easier for all. There can also be subcommittees if needed. The committees will work outside the Executive Committee on their own and make plans/decisions concerning their responsibilities/activities. They also determine their budgets needed. They then present it to the Executive Committee for approval at the monthly meetings. This is coming about because we have people coming up with ideas now and wanting to get involved so we need to get these going so it doesn’t all fall on the shoulders of just a couple of people. I will go over this at our next monthly meeting but if you are interested and you have questions please contact us. Only Executive Committee members can chair a committee but anyone can volunteer to help.
With that I do want to say that I am excited to see younger people getting involved and more members stepping up to help out and share new ideas. This is an excellent time to get involved with the local Party and community.
ODP has also asked if we have people to write Letters to the Editor. I’m not sure where they plan for these to appear but Jim Myers has offered to write them and we would gladly accept anyone else who would like to write them as well. The more the merrier on that!
Miranda Warren for Family Court Judge campaign is in full swing. We are looking at canvassing to start in August. If you can help with that please let us know or any of the other Campaigns as well.
