Notes from the Chair—Education Propositions
by Alison Jones
This will be my last “Notes from the Chair” before November 3. Thank you for all the positive feedback I have received on these emails.
Today’s Topic: More education-related propositions
Joshua Polacheck –
Executive Director
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.”
Social Media
This is a rapidly developing story. The American people deserve the full story.
Dear @ODNIgov Ratcliffe: Actually, @DHSgov officials say that Iran sent spoofed emails to intimidate voters to vote FOR Donald Trump. Are you being fully honest with the American people? https://twitter.com/cbsnews/status/1319062200452108290
Iran and Russia have hacked voter registration and Iran is using the information to sending threatening emails to Democrats.

#GOPCorruption using big government for their own election campaigns...
Another week, another GOP Senator facing an Ethics complaint for shady, taxpayer-funded communications during voting: "Arizona Sen. @MarthaMcSally... came under similar scrutiny last week for COVID robocalls that praised her efforts on the issue." https://coloradotimesrecorder.com/2020/10/complaint-to-senate-ethics-committee-alleges-gardners-tele-townhall-violated-rules/31780/ #azsen
.@MarthaMcSally is right: It's disappointing that the Senate has failed Arizonans for months -- and she's part of the problem.
Just *yesterday*, Mitch McConnell said that Republicans should block new bipartisan COVID relief before the election. https://azdem.org/martha-mcsally-is-right/ #azsen https://twitter.com/SenMcSallyAZ/status/1318675861520908300
It's disappointing that the Senate can't come together to support the backbone of our economy: small biz. The repeated inability to advance an expansion of the PPP for American workers is exactly why Arizonans are frustrated with Washington.
Must watch (unless you're already feeling weepy).
It's heartwarming.
America is a nation that values immigrants. It is and has always been one of our greatest strengths.
We need a president who understands that.
