We are horrified by the barbaric terrorist attacks in Israel and mourn the innocent lives that were brutally taken. The world has witnessed the largest mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. Among the dead are peace activists, babies and children, and Holocaust survivors. This was pure, unadulterated evil and it must be unequivocally condemned. If you have not yet seen President Biden’s remarks on this matter, you can watch them ([link removed]) here ([link removed]) .
DEC UPDATES
At the latest Indian River County Democratic Executive Committee meeting, DEC members shared updates on our county initiatives. Chairman William C. Evans gave an overview of our upcoming Voter Registration and Vote-by-Mail plan while Vice Chair of Outreach, Bob Bruner, briefed the DEC on our successful National Voter Registration Day event and encouraged local Democrats to volunteer for the voter registration team HERE ([link removed]) . The Candidate committee is meeting with candidates and will be sharing recommendations for the upcoming municipal elections soon. Details for the Young Voter Focus Group were also discussed.
Last week, DEC Secretary, Claudia Martino partnered with Mi Vecino ([link removed]) Co-Founders Alex Berrios and Devon Murphy-Anderson to host a data and VAN tools training in Vero Beach for the Democrats of Indian River and our fellow Democrats of St. Lucie County.
