Rick Staples, district 2 KCDP Board of Governors, welcomes everyone to the potluck.

Close to 30 people came to May’s district 2 meeting, which was held at the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church Fellowship Hall. June Jones, from Organizing for America, and Linda Haney, KCDP Chairperson, spoke.  A potluck dinner was served;  additionally, a district secretary and sergeant-at-arms were elected.  Voter registration efforts were discussed, and a committee to address this issue was formed, headed by Bernice Curtis and Linda Cartwright.  Rick Staples challenged everyone to bring someone new to the next meeting so work could continue to build the Democratic party in district 2.
