We Did It!

November 22, 2019 By admin Leave a Comment

Bucks County Democrats,

It has now been just over two weeks since Election Day, and I can only find three words to describe what took place that night — We did it! Thanks to countless volunteers, Committee People, Chairs, and campaign staff, we accomplished something that had not been achieved in over THREE DECADES in Bucks County. On January 6th, 2020, a Democratic majority Board of Commissioners will be sworn in at the County Courthouse to begin this new era in Bucks County history.

We first embarked on a program in 2015 to flip Bucks County. At that moment, of the 12 elected Countywide Row Officers, our Party held ONE (as in one more than zero). Even that statistic is misleading, as the minority Party is bound by law to have a representative on the Board of Commissioners. After this monumental 2019 Election cycle, we now hold TEN. These successes haven’t been limited to just County Races, either. Since 2015, we have flipped control of EIGHT municipalities. We’ve won over 250 municipal seats, flipping over 80 of them from Republican to Democratic hands. This doesn’t “just happen.” This isn’t just the product of a Blue Wave. These wins are the result of having a large group of dedicated people working tirelessly towards one goal. The strategy was correct. The execution was flawless. And the results prove that out.

What this now means is that we get to serve. Our newly electeds have a large responsibility to uphold. Whether it be Bristol Borough or Riegelsville (yes, we elect Democrats up there), we must serve our communities well. As a Party, we will be there to support them in these efforts, and to continue electing Democrats to serve alongside them.

I truly am grateful to everyone that made phone calls, knocked on doors, contributed to campaigns, and got out the vote for Democrats this year. This Party relies on grassroots organizing and engagement, and if 2019 is any indication, we have the tools to be successful in 2020 and beyond.

We all did this, together.

Sincerely,
John Cordisco
Chairman
Bucks County Democratic Committee

Sharing Our History

August 30, 2019 By Andrea Heps Leave a Comment

You never forget the moments when you learn about your personal history. For Robin Robinson, she was a teenager riding in her mother’s car on the 405 in Los Angeles when she found out she was Jewish. Robinson’s mother had originally kept her heritage a secret to get into the Army during WWII. Her mother had decided not to tell her own family as well.

We are counting down to the 2019 election on November 5th! This year we can take back the county for the first time in nearly 40 years. Let’s keep up this momentum to get to a Bucks Blue Victory! We have an A-team with Diane Marseglia and Bob Harvie for County Commissioner, Meredith Buck for Coroner, Kris Ballerini for Treasurer, Linda Bobrin for Register of Wills and Brian Munroe for Clerk of Courts. Our top-notch Democratic Judicial Candidates are Charissa Liller, Jordan Yeager, and Jessica Vandekam. And moving down ballot we have highly qualified Candidates for School Board, Township Supervisor and Auditor across the County.

2019 Democratic candidatesDiane Marseglia, Bob Harvie, Meredith Buck, Kris Ballerini, Linda Bobrin, and Brian Munroe.

These odd-year election cycles are extremely important and the Bucks County Democratic Committee and our Municipal Organizations are highly mobilized. In 2017 Bucks Democrats had our best election in decades with unprecedented wins at both the County and Municipal level. This is not a one-off as we are positioned to do this again! Stay involved and sign up to canvass. Vote November 5th for your Democratic Team.

Guest Opinion: Liller, Vanderkam, and Yeager the best judge

May 14, 2019 By Andrea Heps Leave a Comment

Democrats, on Tuesday, May 21, you have the opportunity to select three experienced lifelong Democrats to run for three vacant judicial positions in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas. Are you sick of Mitch McConnell and Trump appointing conservative judges? Well here is your chance to elect judges right here in Bucks County who reflect our Democratic values. Don’t waste this opportunity.
Democrats are usually independent thinkers and don’t like to follow their party line. They usually don’t like following orders from on high and are more concerned with doing what’s right. I too am often guilty of that and frankly, some say that is why Democrats lose so many close elections. But this time, the Bucks County Democratic Party leaders got it right. The rank and file committee people reviewed candidate qualifications and voted to endorse the three best candidates: Charissa Liller, Jessica VanderKam and Jordan Yeager. [Read more…]
