Bonnie Heidler | Chair of PCDP
Notes From The Chair – Transition of Leadership
Two years ago, as a relative unknown, I asked for the chance to lead PCDP in a new direction. You gave me that vote of confidence, for which I will always be grateful. I hope I have fulfilled your expectations.
Now, as my term winds down, I’m reflecting on the challenges we faced, the lessons we learned, the successes we had, and where we fell short. But first, I must thank so many people who volunteered for our party and did the hard work.

Medicare for All Means Healthcare for All
By Eve Shapiro, M.D. and Richard Wiebe*
As paychecks disappear for millions of Americans, so does their health insurance — at the worst possible time.
The COVID-19 pandemic exposes the most fundamental flaw of the for-profit health insurance system: Lose your job, lose your healthcare. Over 44 million Americans have filed for unemployment benefits; the Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that 27 million will lose their health insurance.
Medicare for All means healthcare for all – with or without a job. It operates under the principle that healthcare is a right, not a privilege reserved for those who can afford it. When you get sick, you go to the doctor with no worries about deductibles and co-payments.

SPOTLIGHT
Volunteer Spotlight | Joanie Allison
By Richard Wiebe
Golfers Joanie and Jim Allison grew to love Tucson during their February visits to Dove Mountain’s Accenture Match Play Championship golf tournament. When asked about her proficiency as a golfer, Joanie would only say the greenskeepers of Alexandria, VA, celebrated when the Allisons retired to Tucson in 2012.
Joanie leads Thursday’s morning and afternoon volunteer crews at PCDP headquarters. Now working from home, she returns phone calls and answers questions about everything from voter registration to road repair. Her favorite calls are inquiries about registering as a Democrat.
“I enjoy interacting with the public, and I look forward to returning to the office and our merry band of volunteers,” she said. “Alison and Cat are so supportive. We all learn from each other, but Alison and Cat are special.”

Thousands are dying from COVID-19 each day. Yet, the Administration has failed to fully embrace using the Defense Production Act to bolster our vaccine supply. Today, @SenWarren and I wrote to the heads of Operation Warp Speed detailing how to do so. We can’t waste any more time.

It’s raining, it’s cold, and it’s miserable in DC right now. Spare a thought for the many, many National Guard troops posted outside, securing the city after the terror attack on the Capitol last week.
