Dear Fellow Democrat:

In the upcoming primary election in May, 2010, Democratic voters in Montgomery County will elect individuals to serve four-year terms as Montgomery County representatives to the Pennsylvania State Democratic Committee. The Montgomery County Democratic Committee will endorse a slate of candidates to run in the primary, and with this letter we are inviting any interested county Democrat to submit their name for consideration.

To be eligible for endorsement, a person must be a registered Democratic voter in Montgomery County and must have had some involvement in Democratic political activity. Those considering submitting their names for possible endorsement should also be aware that being a Democratic State Committee member comes with certain responsibilities. For instance, it will require attendance at committee meetings held throughout the state four times a year. Attendance at these meetings is at the member’s expense. Also, members of state committee are also expected to financially support various committee activities throughout the year.

If you are interested in seeking endorsement for state committee from the Montgomery County Democratic Committee, please submit an application (word document) with a brief resume that includes your past political and community activity.  The application deadline is Wednesday, December 30, after which you may be contacted to schedule an optional, but recommended, interview with our screening committee. Dave Nasatir is the chair of the screening committee, which includes ten members. The screening committee will then submit its recommended endorsements to the executive committee of the Montgomery County Democratic Committee, which is expected to act on the recommendation on January 21.  

If you have any questions, or need additional information, please contact Dave Nasatir at (215) 665-3139.

Sincerely,

Marcel Groen
