It truly is a privilege to honor some amazing Democrats right here in Summit County!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some have asked why we are having the dinner in Spring. Each year we use these much needed funds to help support our candidates and win races. Planning our sample ballot program requires targeting and strategizing. Knowing what we can afford is a major part of those decisions. There are so many important races all across the county this year!&nbsp; These early donations are critical and will help our candidates and Party succeed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our focus will always be electing strong Democrats throughout Summit County. Your reoccurring gift of $20 a month will be helping us expand our voter outreach, run the office, and help bolster some amazing candidates. It will also get you a free ticket to our annual FDR Awards Dinner next year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m looking forward to seeing many of you at our dinner. It will be a great night of celebration for all those well deserving individuals receiving awards. For those that can\u2019t make the event, please consider becoming a Sustaining Member at any amount. With your support we will continue to move Summit County forward.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark Derrig,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Summit County Democratic Party Chair<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you all for your support of this year\u2019s 25th Annual FDR Awards Dinner.
