Upcoming Lafayette County Democratic Convention to Select Mississippi Delegation

Oxford, Mississippi: A Crucial Gathering for Democrats

The Democratic Party in Lafayette County is set to hold their convention later this month. All registered Democrats residing in the county are invited to the gathering. The congregation will take place on March 23, at the Lafayette County Chancery Courthouse.

The event will commence at 10 a.m. at 300 N. Lamar Blvd. This occasion marks a pivotal moment for the party as it is organized every presidential election year for key party activities.

The Road to Delegate Selection

During this event, the Mississippi Democratic Party conducts their delegate selection process. In it, members of the county executive committees and the state executive committee are elected. Additionally, delegates to the Democratic National Convention, scheduled to be conducted in August in Chicago, will be chosen.

Another major item on the agenda will be the discussion of platform issues, driving the future direction of the party. The decisions made in the upcoming convention will shape the narrative of the Democratic party at the local, state, and national levels.

The Importance of Grassroot Participation

Chair of the Lafayette County Democratic Executive Committee, Cristin Hemmins, underscored the importance of strong participation. “The local and state Democratic party is only as robust as its base. If you want to see more Democrats elected here in Lafayette County, in the state of Mississippi, and at the national level, then please get involved and be a part of the team,” Hemmins requested.

A Glimpse into the Future: 1st Congressional District Convention

Looking ahead, the 1st Congressional District Convention is slated to be held in Oxford on April 6. As the date approaches, additional information about the next convention will be disseminated, allowing Democrats to continue their civic involvement at the grassroots level.
