COFFEE WITH THE MAYOR
Want to ask Mayor Val Zudans a question? Main Street of Vero Beach hosts Coffee with the Mayor once a month. It is a great networking opportunity and a chance for attendees to advertise local events and businesses. It is also good to hear what is going on in Indian River County from the mayor. It is important for Democrats in our county to attend and let the mayor know we are part of this community, too. See the flyer below for details and please attend!

IMPEACHMENT GUIDE
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has announced the start of a process to potentially impeach President Trump. But what is that process, and why start now?
GovTrack.us has launched a new website, impeachment.guide ([link removed]) , to answer these questions. You can find concise explanations of the events leading up to the impeachment inquiry, possible charges the President may face, and a timeline of the impeachment process as we know it.
The information on impeachment.guide ([link removed]) is compiled from Congressional Research Services research reports, United States law, and key documents that initiated or contributed to the impeachment inquiry. We will be updating the website as new documents are released.
