“You have to make sure that you’re actually on the group running. And so, this is kind of kicking that off,” said Harold Jones, State Senator.
Speakers also talked about wanting to protect the work the Biden administration has done for them.
“Who your President is absolutely matters, and where you know making sure that folks know that,” said Jordan Johnson, District 1 commissioner and Richmond County Party Chair. “That who you put in the White House matters because it will directly impact what comes from the federal government to support what happens on a local level.”
Attendees were there to show their support and remind the community to get out and vote and vote early.
“You want your voice heard? Go to the polls and put it in on the ballot,” said Christie Stewart, an attendee. “That’s your voice. Not talking on the corners and talking on the streets. Go early, go often, get out there and vote.”
“The key to 2020 was we had more people vote early then voted on election day,” said Franklin Delano Williams, Host Committee Local Democratic Party.
Attendees Stressing that you as a voter always have a voice– you just have to use it.
“We have a voice no matter what district you’re in or what county you’re in,” said Kay Turner, a Candidate for State House Representative 125 Columbia County. “You have a voice to speak up for yourself, to speak up for your relatives, your seniors. To speak up for women, to speak up for your children.”
