Attention Friendly Democrats!
Come join us on July 18th to cheer on candidates working on essential public speaking skills. Together, we can lift them up and help them soar.
WE NEED YOU
Johnson County Democratic Women North needs a president! We have a wonderful, hardworking board to support you and do the heavy lifting for the organization. The main duty is coordinating the board members and coordinating with JCDW South, which also has an amazing board of dedicated workers! It can be low-tech if that’s what you want. Please let us know ASAP if you are interested in coordinating this organization so we can transition to new leadership. Contact Dawn Olney to see what it entails.
Flip it Blue
When: Sunday, July 21st from 4-8 PM
Where: Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park and West 87th Street Parkway, Lackman Rd, Lenexa, KS 66215
This is the year we BREAK the supermajority in Topeka. So let’s celebrate with food, games, prices, and best of all, like-minded Democrats ready to take 2024 by storm! You’ll even have the chance to mingle with both elected officials and candidates.
Our THEME is “Put in Drive,” so come in with your car racing themed attire. Feel free to get competitive; prizes will go to the best themed outfit.
But wait, there’s more!
Flip it Blue is fun for the whole family. We’ve got balloons and cotton candy and a fabulous playground right next to the pavilion.
Tickets are $35 for members, $40 for nonmembers, but more is always welcome.
We need your help to make Flip it Blue a success!
The Raffle and the Silent Auction are fan favorites every year, and they only work because people like you donate fabulous items! Here’s what we need:
For the Silent Auction – items valued at $100 or more (to be auctioned to the highest bidder).
For the Raffle – items valued between $25 and $50
SHOUT OUT to Colleen Cunningham with
Mom’s Demand Action!
A big THANK YOU to Colleen Cunningham for coming to our last meeting and updating us on the organization’s wins and losses for the past year. Since we all know that the #1 killer of kids is guns, the discussion centered on kids, guns, and locking up those guns so children do not die. Having the conversation with the parents of your kids’ friends is hard, but it’s harder accepting a child’s death, so let’s normalize making this ask.
ATTEND JOCO CANVASSING TRAINING
Connecting new volunteers with experienced canvassers
helps to create social connections and cohesion in our organization.
Everyone should attend the canvassing training – at least to know how we are talking to residents of JOCO and maybe to refine how you approach your friends and relatives as well.
Our experienced canvassers have had a wide variety of training, and some have never had formal training. We now have a JoCo Dem Data Team that can utilize the data we collect at the door. If we want to collect valid and reliable data, we need to standardize our data collection methods across Senate Districts. Canvass Training Dates:
Saturday, July 6th, 2-4 PM – Central Resource Library, Carmack Room
Johnson County Democratic Party SOCIALS!!
Don’t forget to mark your calendars and get involved with the JOCO Democrats.

We are the one’s we have been waiting for.
