Watch for Dem Ads on Bernalillo County Ward/Precinct Meetings

The Democratic Party has purchased two ads to announce the upcoming ward and precinct meetings on March 28 at locations around Bernalillo County. You may recall that Eric Elison of NM Democratic Friends spearheaded a drive to raise money for this after seeing a Republican Party ad in the Journal announcing their county meeting. Prior to this fundraising drive, the Party had plans to run only tiny print legal notices in the legal section of the newspapers.

Thanks are also in order for Jane Ronca-Washburn, who first asked for people interested in working on getting an ad at a meeting of the Democratic Party of Bernalillo County and who created the ad, and for Marvin Moss, who was also instrumental in getting the job done.

The sizeable ad appears in the business section of the Sunday Albuquerque Journal today, and will be in the Albuquerque Tribune on Monday afternoon.

Many DFA-DFNM members donated generously to this effort at our last Meetup, along with members of NM Democratic Friends and other progressives. More than $2200 was raised to purchase the ads -- people power in action. Thanks to all who contributed to this truly grassroots effort, and let's hope we have a terrific turnout at the meetings and that we can elect many progressives as ward and precinct chairs.
