PA Dems: Building Blue

2008 College Democrats Convention Wrap-Up

I’m happy to announce that this year’s convention was a success! Chapters from schools all across the state traveled to the City of Brotherly Love for a weekend of trainings, speakers, Democratic fun and the occasional run to the top of the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s steps.

Thanks to each and every College Democrat who was involved in this event, especially the convention committee. Without your planning, help, attendance and participation, this year’s event would have never been possible. I hope the excitement that we felt this weekend will continue well into November and beyond! That said, I hope everyone will register for the College Democrats of America's National Convention in Denver from August 22-24, and some of it continuing into the DNC (see www.collegedems.com for more information)!

At convention, we also elected the 2008-2009 Executive Board. The leadership will change hands on April 23rd, after the Pennsylvania Primary. In the capable hands of the board, I am sure that the Pennsylvania College Democrats will continue to flourish and made a difference in the lives of Pennsylvania voters. I am pleased to announce the new board:

 Deb Hinchey (Temple University), President
 Jim Sheppard (University of Pittsburgh), Western Region Vice President
 Sean Meloy (Penn State University), Central Region Vice President
 Mary Alice Scott (Franklin & Marshall College), Eastern Region Vice President
 Joe Day (Carnegie Mellon University), Director of Finance
 Weston Fillman (Franklin & Marshall College), Director Communications
 Keith Davis (Temple University), Director of Membership
 Jana Stec (University of Pittsburgh), Director of Political Affairs
Gregory Kauffman (Lebanon Valley College), State Council Chair

On a personal note, this year has been an amazing ride. I hope to follow Governor Rendell’s advice and “Stay and Invent PA” for quite some time, so please feel free to call on me if I can be of service. Pennsylvania is an amazing place to be a student, a voter and a Democrat and I can’t wait to see what a future here holds. My own special “thank you” goes out to everyone who has made our success possible. This especially includes the PA Democratic Party and those members past and present whose partnerships have helped us so much: Chairman TJ Rooney, Mary Isenhour, Abe Amoros, Fadia Halma, and Dr. Don Morabito. You are all true assets to the commonwealth.

-- Rachel Moore, Pennsylvania College Democrats President

From and Old Dem to the Young Dems, check out and support, AYANNA LEE who is the answer to a Democratic Party prayer for a Candidate who can put the 44th State Legislative District back in the Democratic column. She has the Courage, Integrity, Intellect, and Fortitude needed to represent the interest and help resolve some of the daunting issues facing all of the citizens of the 44th specifically, and the Commonwealth in general. Representative Chelsea Wagner thinks she would be a tremendous asset to the House of Representatives and the Democratic Caucus, and so do I. Check out Ayanna's web-site at www.ayannalee.com
