Democratic Club elects officers over Zoom

Tehachapi Mountain Democratic Club has new officers, but it had to be done on a Zoom meeting. The club has been unable to have regular meetings since COViD-19 changed the world. They continue to wonder and debate when in-person meetings can resume.

Charles White was elected to serve another term as president.

Working with him will be Mari Goodman, vice president; Kathy Kneer, secretary; and Tina Minton, treasurer. Trustees elected are Anita Pritchard, Carol Rush and Dick Cavanaugh. Their new term began July 1.

The club helps Democrats get elected at all levels of government.

At this time, they are especially working to elect Kim Mangone in her race for 23rd Congressional District, a seat currently held by Kevin McCarthy.

They also try to educate, motivate and inspire people within our community to become politically active.

A website to do this has been recently developed and may be accessed at http://www.tehachapidemocrats.com.
