ANNOUNCEMENTS
Press Release | Post Election Note
As we wait for every vote to be counted, Pima County Democratic Party (PCDP) is optimistic about the outcome of this election. This election cycle saw PCDP and its Legislative District (LD) committees engage with a record number of voters. Party-building efforts, including robust community-outreach and voter-education activities, enabled us to capitalize on our 2018 successes.
None of this could have happened without such dedicated partners as The Arizona Ground Game, Pima Area Labor Federation, Field Team 6, Democratic clubs, Pima County Young Democrats, and PCDP’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. We know that other groups that share our values, including Indivisible, Lucha, Mi Familia Vota, and Las Adelitas, were also critical to the outcomes in Pima County.

HQ Update | August 2020
I’m so excited to have been chosen to serve as your new Executive Director. After nearly two decades serving our country overseas as a Foreign Service Officer, this election was too important to stay neutral. We witnessed a demonstration of America’s potential last week, this is the correct choice for this moment in history.
Though we’re still largely virtual, HQ operations continue apace. We’ve installed security cameras and are servicing the A/C system and computers. Leila and I are at HQ M-Sa and limited volunteers are here afternoons M-F.

LD9 Volunteer Story | Mary Alice Theroux’
Her advice to people who are considering campaigning for Democrats is: “Don’t be afraid. There’s always something that you can do. Don’t be intimidated by maybe a Republican neighbor, or others that you think might not like you because you’re out there campaigning for Democrats. I plow through and I think the best way to change what’s happening in this country is to change who’s in charge.”

SPOTLIGHT
Meet Zoey Fife, PCDP Recording Secretary
The role of Recording Secretary is vital to every organization, and the Pima County Democratic Party is no exception. Zoey Fife was appointed to that job last August and elected to the post at PCDP’s annual meeting in November.
In addition to taking minutes at monthly meetings, Zoey enjoys pitching in with PCDP events, like the Udall dinner and the mayor’s inaugural luncheon.
When events come off without a hitch, I feel like something important was accomplished,” she said. “I look forward to the day we can safely meet in person and celebrate our hard work through the pandemic.”

This is absolutely bonkers.
Georgia's two Republican U.S. Senators are calling on the Republican Secretary of State to resign because they believe - without evidence - that he "failed to deliver honest and transparent elections." #gapol
Fox News just cut away from @PressSec, saying the network could not in good conscience continue to air her false claims, for which she has provided no supporting evidence.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger: “Earlier today Senators Loeffler and Perdue called for my resignation. Let me start by saying that is not going to happen. The voters of Georgia hired me, and the voters will be the one to fire me.”
