Wyoming Democratic Party meeting

The Wyoming Democratic Party (WDP) will hold their quarterly State Central Committee Meeting this Saturday, July 15, in Thermopolis at Common Grounds, 122 North 5th. All registered Democrats in Wyoming are welcome and encouraged to attend any and all of the events planned by the WDP throughout the day.

Howie Samelson, Chair of the Hot Springs County Democrats, said, “I was flattered that the Wyoming Democratic Party chose Thermopolis to host their quarterly State Central Committee Meeting. Having Governor O’Malley as the guest speaker at Saturday’s dinner just emphasizes how important small towns and rural Americans are. I look forward to hearing what he has to say about us in Thermopolis and our unique place in American politics.”

The meeting schedule includes a WDP Executive Committee meeting at 8:30 a.m., a women’s caucus brunch and strategic planning session, and progressive caucus leadership elections at 9 a.m., a Young Democrats of Wyoming organizational meting at 11 a.m., legislative presentation on interim committee business at noon and State Central Committee business at 1 p.m.

Upon adjournment, there will be WDP subcommittee meetings.

Following their State Central Committee Meeting, the WDP will host Governor Martin O’Malley for a pig roast at the Bar-N’ Supper Club & Cabin Retreat in Thermopolis, starting at 6 pm. This event is open to any member of the public, but is a ticketed event. Tickets can be purchased on the WDP website, wyodems.org.

In regards to their Pig Roast with Martin O’Malley, WDP Chair JoeBarbuto stated, “We’re thrilled to be welcoming Governor O’Malley to Wyoming, and particularly the Big Horn Basin. Over the last several months, he’s been going places where national Democrats don’t often visit, and encouraging our party to build from the bottom up and listen to voters in rural America. It’s a great message for Wyoming Democrats as we prepare for the 2018 election.”
