April Meeting
A note of hope and gratitude from our chair Kelsey Marletta
Hello!
First, I would like to sincerely thank the members of the Radford City Democratic Committee for entrusting me with the role of Chair of the RCDC. Amanda Winter did an amazing job in fulfilling the duties of Chair during her tenure while also running for a seat on our school board. In a very competitive race, we are fortunate that she won her seat. We must support and encourage her now as she steps into her role as a Radford City School Board member next month.
This election year was an incredible defeat for the Democratic Party. While it feels heavy, we must now look to the future. We have to hold our heads high, band together and aim towards electing Democrats into local, state and federal offices. Unification, collaboration and communication is more important now than ever. 2025 will hold several significant races; the Gubernatorial, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General of Virginia. Here in Radford, we will uphold a promise amongst the Democratic Party to support and elect those that choose to either re-run or run for their offices.
A few of my goals as Chair of the RCDC is to increase attendance at our monthly meetings, gain more members from the Radford community, continue strengthening our alliance with the Radford University Young Democrats and to make sure we have the highest level of organization at every event and meeting where we can have a presence.
The holiday season gives us a time to reflect on the year that is winding down while simultaneously building excitement for the New Year. We must apply this thinking to our efforts in our political aspirations for the Democratic Party. We have so much potential in our community to make change, inspire hope and build a solid foundation for the values that our party believes in. We faced setbacks in 2024 but we must start 2025 with a fresh perspective for hope, freedom and democracy.
If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, please know that you can always e-mail us at radfordcitydemocrats@gmail.com or connect with us here.
Onward and upward we go!
Sincerely,
Kelsey Marletta
Chair - Radford City Democrats
