Looking Ahead

2008

All Union County Precinct Chairs

The North Carolina Democratic Party, Plan of Organization, requires each precinct to hold annual precinct meetings.

The North Carolina Democratic Party Chairman, Jerry Meek, has determined that this year's precinct meetings are to be held on Tuesday, March 11^th, 2008.  The Union County, North Carolina Democratic Party Chairman, Harry Crow, has identified Saturday, March 15^th, 2008 as the alternate precinct meeting date, in the event that a precinct does not achieve a quorum at the originally scheduled meeting.

The purpose of these meetings, is to elect delegates to the Union County, North Carolina Democratic Party  Convention, which will be held on Saturday, April 19^th, 2008, (Location TBA).

All meetings are free and open to any registered Democrat residing in the precinct.

"There's so much at stake in this year's elections," said Harry Crow, chair of the Union County Democratic Party. "Democrats have the energy, motivation and momentum to take back the White House and expand our margins in Congress and the state legislature."

"But, we need your help and hard work to do it," said Crow. "Join us as we make history."
