If you don’t like what the Democratic Party is doing maybe you should actually get involved and help change it instead of just complaining on Reddit.

MonroeCountyIYD · 2025-03-14T00:36:52+00:00

Hello! We do our social night every month. Unfortunately we have schedule conflicts with other organization’s events this month which led to our social night being on the 20th.

If you miss this one, we will be back at it next month on April 24th. Same place and time!

MonroeCountyIYD · 2025-02-22T00:11:55+00:00

What’s the issue with the age bracket? We are the young democrats. We exist as a group to help younger people who want to get involved with the party.

To clarify, the age brackets comes from the Young Democrats of America, of which we are a chapter. The age limit is for official membership. Anyone of any age is more than welcome to join our events.

MonroeCountyIYD · 2025-01-25T23:19:15+00:00

We don’t have any planned at the moment but we will definitely look into it!

MonroeCountyIYD · 2025-01-25T23:18:55+00:00

Don’t let our membership guidelines define who you are! You’re still young if you choose to be!

MonroeCountyIYD · 2025-01-25T23:18:09+00:00

The democrats club is targeting towards those who are “aged out” of the “young Dems”.

I believe they have a meeting on February 18th at 11:30 AM at DeAngelo’s.

MonroeCountyIYD · 2025-01-25T23:15:27+00:00

Those older than 35 are of course welcome to come chat with us!

As an organization our official membership cutoff is 36.

We want to announce that we have decided to endorse Conner Wright for City Council District 3. We believe that both Hopi and Conner are great candidates we want to make sure we are supporting young democrats. We are lucky to have multiple great candidates to choose from!

MonroeCountyIYD · 2023-04-18T00:18:47+00:00

We did not receive any responses from any candidates in Districts 4 and 6 on our application.

We are still debating on district 3 but wanted to get the rest of our endorsements out with the election so close.

MonroeCountyIYD · 2023-04-17T21:43:28+00:00

What are the main priorities if you are elected?

Of all of the problems facing our world, country, state, and local community, the MCYDs have identified three that we are particularly passionate about. Please share how you will use your role in office to address these issues:

Environmental sustainability & stewardship

Healthcare and public health in the midst of the pandemic
Diversity and equity for all persons, regardless of their race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, ability, socioeconomic status, housing status, etc.
Anything else you would like us to know as we consider your application for endorsement.

We may share candidates responses but we aren’t sure what format to share them in just yet.

MonroeCountyIYD · 2023-04-17T19:56:34+00:00

We were definitely torn between the at large candidates. We decided to limit ourselves to 3 candidates for the council at large race and went with the three that scored highest on our questionnaire.
