County Democrats Host Shapiro At Annual Banquet

The Washington County Democratic Committee held their annual banquet to kick off the election season on Tuesday night. Democratic candidates for office from around the commonwealth attended the event. Christina Proctor, Chair of the Washington County Democratic Committee stated that the event was important because democrats need to get their voters out to vote. She also indicated that this is an important election because democrats are needed in office to keep a check on the republicans already in office to make sure oversight is in place. Echoing Proctor’s comments was the keynote speaker of the night, Attorney General Josh Shapiro. In a ten minute speech he urged the crowd to make sure that they and their friends and neighbors get out and vote to prevent the lies that republicans keep repeating do not become law. He stated that all of the elections this year are important in an effort to save democracy in Pennsylvania.
