Those Other Sidney Warriors

At the next meeting of the Sidney Democratic Committee, we will welcome Cindy Lockrow, the current chair of the Stamford Democratic Committee and recently announced candidate for chair of the Delaware County Democratic Committee.

Cindy is challenging current Chair Bill Buccheri for the position. She will come before our committee to present her ideas about the future of Democrats in Delaware County and to solicit our ideas about what we would like to see the County Committee doing.

The Chairperson of the Delaware County Democratic Committee, along with all other officers (1st Vice Chair, 2nd Vice Chair, Treasurer and Secretary), are elected by the Committee at its reorganization meeting in September. That meeting will take place within ten days after the primaries, when Committee members are elected.

The meeting will be open to the public, as always. We are pleased with this evidence that the County Committee is vibrant and dynamic, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to make our choice.

The Sidney/Masonville Committees met yesterday and the main topic of the meeting was petitioning. We collected about half of the petitions we were circulating, which are ready to be filed, and made arrangements for the rest of them to be ready by the filing deadline.

We were also able to discuss the results of the recent invitation we made to Sidney Democrats to stay in touch with us via are recently launched web site. Results there so far are low-key but still key, including a connection with a valuable potential resource for our upcoming discussions on town power for Sidney.

Our outreach efforts are taking some time to get underway, but they’re coming …

Sidney’s next Committee meeting will take place on August 8th at 7 p.m. in the Sidney Civic Center Board Room.
