Dryden Democrats thank candidates, contributors, volunteers
The Dryden Democrats gathered yesterday at the Varna Community Center to thank former Town Supervisor Mark Varvayanis, former Town Board member Deb Grantham, and Town Board candidate Jim Skaley for their service and for running in last fall's election, as well as to thank contributors and volunteers.
Mark Varvayanis and Jim Skaley listen to Kathy Zahler read a letter from County Legislator Martha Robertson.
Along with discussion of last fall's defeats and how to do a better job getting out local Democrats' message of open government, there was some conversation about the upcoming presidential election. The New York primary is March 2nd, and there was some conversation about the presidential candidates. The Tompkins County Democratic Party will be having a forum for discussion of the primary and candidates next Thursday, January 30.
The voter registration deadline for primaries is February 6; more details about the primary are available from the Tompkins County Board of Elections.
