| Happy New Year, Glynn County Democrats!! We hope that you had a happy, healthy Holiday Season, and are ready to engage with your fellow Democratic Party Members, to turn Glynn County, as well as the State of Georgia, Blue! We are planning some great activities for this year, and next, especially, as we ramp up to the 2020 elections, which will be here before we know it. We want to be prepared and to make sure that we not only register people to vote, but actually vote, in every election – from the most local ones, to the national ones. They are all crucial to our success, and our ability to make change in our communities. As Proud Democrats, we also need to be seen, and make our presence known, at as many local events, as possible. We will try to help you do that, as much as possible, so watch this space. As a start, rather than host Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 Meetings, in January, we are strongly encouraging Democrats to attend the organized Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend activities. You will see many of the Glynn County Democratic Committee Executive Committee members, attending these events, so we hope to see you there.
