I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Please be safe this coming week as our weather is changing again and New Year's Eve is approaching. Ring in the New Year full of hope and anticipation, but take time to reflect on 2015 with its struggles, challenges and blessings too. Carefully consider what you personally can do to make 2016 a successful year. We will meet again in January. I look forward to seeing each of you and hearing about your holidays. I also wish to hear each person's thoughts, ideas and commitments to help make this year a turn around year for Democrats. If you feel called to run for office, whether municipal, school board, county or state, please let me know. I will do all I can to help and to work with you to find others to help. 

I believe we are at a critical time for our communities, our state, and our nation. Take time as we move into this new year to remember how important each individual is to our democracy and where you personally can make a difference. We have lots of work to do. Stay with us and keep going.

Happy New Year!
Patty Johnson, Chairperson
Cass County Democrat Central Committee
