Southold Town Democrats

A statement from Rich Schaffer, Suffolk County Democratic Committee Chair.

A statement from Southold Town Democratic Committee Chair, Kathryn Casey Quigley: "What happened at the Capitol yesterday impacts us all, and directly threatens our democracy. Our nation is shaken by it. As such, I believe it is the responsibility of every elected leader at every level in every elected office in this nation to voice their opposition to and rejection of yesterday's events, and the lies and incitement this riot was based on. It is my opinion that our duly and d...emocratically elected leaders at all levels have a responsibility to preserve and uphold this system of governance. I call on them each to make a statement to the public that serves to help move us forward, locally and nationally. All our voices matter in this moment, and especially our leaders: to hear that they value truth, and reject the lies and incitement, will help to amplify the truth and protect our democracy. Many local people support what happened yesterday, or at least support the lies and misinformation that fomented the event. Every voice is needed in this crucial moment in our nation's history. I encourage our elected leaders to speak out clearly and loudly."

The holiday season isn't the only thing in full swing...our 2021 candidate recruitment is well underway! Southold Town will have 11 seats open for election in November, and currently, Dems hold only 3 seats. With your help, we can change this. If you, or anyone you know, might be interested in running, or learning more about running - please be in touch by email or DM, or via our website: https://southolddems.com//thinking-about-running-office-so. ... Spread the word! Happy Holidays!
