Fellow Democrats:

Thank you for your continued encouragement of the Young Democrats and for all of the hard work that has been put into the organization. Your continued support helps YDNC remain strong.

My first few months as president have been remarkable. My travels from Beaufort to Buncombe counties have revealed the hope and enthusiasm young people have in making a difference in next year’s critical elections. Our mission continues to be showing our families, friends and communities that YDNC is THE vehicle for promoting Democratic issues and effecting change.

Our most recent victory was joining the successful Same Day Voter Registration Coalition. State Democratic leaders approved legislation this week that will revolutionize voter turnout in the state by allowing people to register and vote within the final 2 ½ weeks of the election season. YDNC would like to thank our Democratic legislators for their unyielding support.

We’re gearing up for another exciting year that will help our state move forward by: improving internal organization and infrastructure; increasing the number of chapters in rural counties; engaging in effective outreach, training and education of our membership; and electing Democrats both locally and statewide.

We must inspire and engage a new generation of activists and leaders in this state!

Please join us by helping build a Young Democrat, College or Teen Democrat chapter in your county! Please preview our new site: www.campaignwindow.com/ydnc
