Call to Action

<h2>Yates County Democratic Headquarters Now Open!</h2><p><strong>Join us for the 2024 election as we work to support Democratic candidates and elect  Kamala Harris as President.</strong> — We are open Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm and on Saturdays from 10am-2pm. Stop by to learn more about our candidates and the Yates County Dems, pick up a Harris campaign sign or bumper sticker, join our postcarding campaigns, or to volunteer to staff HQ.</p>

<h2>Write Postcards to Voters WED., AUGUST 21st</h2><p><strong>Join us at YCDC HQ on Wednesday, Aug 21, to send postcards to Yates County voters!</strong></p><p>Want to help elect Kamala Harris and Democrats running for state office? We are running several postcarding campaigns for the 2024 election to support our candidates and to get out the vote in Yates County.  </p><p>Stop by <u>YCDC HQ on WED., AUGUST 21 FROM 10AM-4PM</u> to label and stamp postcards, or to pick up a set to prepare  at home. We will provide refreshments and pizza to fuel our efforts. Take action today!</p>

<h2>Gov. Tim Walz Selected as Kamala Harris' Running Mate</h2><p><strong>Together, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are moving our country forward and fighting for working families. Let's win this!</strong></p><p>As Governor, Tim Walz cut taxes for working families, lowered the cost of insulin and eliminated junk fees, and protected women’s right to choose. That experience makes him the ideal running mate for Kamala Harris, who has taken on the big banks, led the fight for reproductive freedom, and stood with our allies against Putin’s aggression during her time as a prosecutor, Attorney General, Senator, and Vice President.</p>

<h5>TAKE ACTION FOR  VICE PRESIDENT and PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE KAMALA HARRIS!</h5><h5>Democrats have united around Kamala Harris as our candidate for President.</h5><p><span style="color: rgb(8, 56, 139)">President Biden and Vice President Harris have made extraordinary progress since they took office, getting to work right away to deliver for hardworking American families. Since then, they’ve continued to pass historic legislation and policies that benefit every American — and they’ll keep fighting for the democracy and fundamental freedoms that we deserve.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(8, 56, 139)">Today, Vice President Harris is running to ensure four more years of progress for the American people.</span></p>

<h2>Thank You, President Biden!</h2><p>Joe Biden has ended his reelection campaign for president. First and foremost, we all owe President Biden an enormous debt of gratitude for the unparalleled progress he has delivered over the last four years. He has been one of the most effective and consequential Presidents to ever lead our nation.  Joe represents the best of America--patriotism, dedication, compassion, empathy, and an unshakable faith in the potential of the American people. </p><p><span style="color: rgb(10, 36, 88)"> Thanks, President Biden, for always working to make things better for all Americans!</span></p>

<h2>YCDC Key Issues: Local Media Revisited</h2><p>The second YCDC Key Issues event of the month continues our focus on the importance of local media.&nbsp; Several years ago, our community almost lost the&nbsp;Chronicle-Express, which would have contributed to the distressing national trend of declining news sources.&nbsp; We were fortunate that our paper was saved, but what is the state of local media today?&nbsp; What challenges do they continue to face?&nbsp; Has their role changed since the last public forum on this topic?&nbsp; We will be joined by John Christensen of the&nbsp;Chronicle-Express,&nbsp;Mike Cutillo of the&nbsp;Finger Lakes Times, and Robin Blair of WYLF radio.</p>

<h2>Run for local office in 2025!</h2><p><strong>We are always looking for our next candidate!&nbsp;</strong>If you have considered running for elected office, we’re eager to hear from you. Local elections impact our lives. Our job is to lower the barrier to entry for candidates and provide support - from election law, to getting on the ballot, to tactical and strategic support, to managing campaigns, fundraising, messaging and everything in between.&nbsp;</p><p>We all know the political realities of Yates County.&nbsp;</p><p>Although 45% of registered voters are Republicans and the other voters are pretty evenly split between Democrats and unaffiliated voters, the Republican Party overwhelmingly controls the county and town governments.</p><p>Please realize that:</p><ul><li><p>In 2023, 47 candidates ran for Town Races. Forty-three were unopposed, meaning 92% of the candidates knew they would be elected before voting began. Three Democrats ran, and all were elected.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Also, In 2023, a Democrat and an Independent were elected to the County Legislature, which had only Republican members for the previous 14 years.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Local Governments make essential decisions. For example, last November, the Town of Benton doubled the water rates in four water districts. At its January meeting, the Town of Milo denied a proposal to annex a 72-acre parcel to the Village of Penn Yan, which would have provided land for a 500-unit housing development. Neither Benton nor Milo has a Democrat on their Town Board.</p></li></ul><p>We are looking for Democratic candidates for&nbsp;this year’s election.&nbsp;<strong>Although the election is in November, candidates can only circulate petitions for these seats between February 25 and April 3.</strong> &nbsp;The YCDC will help every candidate at every step of their campaign.</p><p>This year, each of the nine towns in Yates County will have two board members up for election. Supervisors will be elected for Barrington, Benton, Italy, Jerusalem, Potter, and Torrey. Additionally, Town Clerks will be on the November ballot in Barrington, Italy, Potter, Middlesex, Milo, and Torrey.</p><p>At the County level, Legislative District #1 (Italy, Jerusalem, and Middlesex) has four Legislator seats up for election, and Legislative District #2 (Benton, Potter, and Torrey) has three. The District Attorney, County Coroner, and County Treasurer are also up for election this year.</p><p>The current County Treasurer has announced that she will not run for another term. The Treasurer sets her office hours. This year, she&nbsp;is in the office on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 10:00 to 3:00 and by appointment. The new Treasurer can change those hours. I am including information on the powers and duties of our Treasurer.</p><p>We want to provide you with the tools you need to run a great campaign, get out the vote and win. Reach out and let us help.</p>

<h2>Judicial Elections are Critical!</h2><p>Judicial elections are some of the most important votes you can cast, however we do not have any vacancies this year.</p><p>The Seventh Judicial District of New York encompasses a region that includes several counties, primarily serving as a vital part of the New York State court system. This district includes the counties of Monroe, Ontario, Seneca, Wayne, Yates, Livingston, and Cayuga. It is responsible for the administration of justice across various legal matters, including criminal, civil, family, and surrogate court cases.</p><p>The district's courts are designed to ensure that legal proceedings are conducted fairly and efficiently. Each county within the Seventh Judicial District has its own court facilities, where judges preside over cases and administer justice in accordance with state laws. In addition to trial courts, the Seventh Judicial District also features appellate courts (the Fourth Department Appellate Division), allowing for the review of decisions made in lower courts.</p><p>Judges within the Seventh Judicial District are tasked with upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of all individuals involved in court proceedings. The district is equipped with resources and support services aimed at aiding both litigants and legal professionals in navigating the complexities of the judicial system. This district plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the legal process in New York State.</p>
