Friends, 

There's nothing better than Summer! We have started to gather for parades and ceremonies to honor our veterans, spent time with moms and dads at family brunch and get-togethers, graduations and weddings, and had Pride and Juneteenth festivities. And soon we'll be celebrating our independence with more parades, cook outs, and my favorite, fireworks! 

As Summer heats up, so has the outrage against MAGA extremists in D.C. and at our Statehouse. More and more people are turning out to protest the dismantling of our democracy, schools, and the rule of law. These rallies are important and a great way to express ones feelings, but we encourage you take it one step further and turn that frustration into action.

This November, there are critical races all across Summit County from Barberton to Twinsburg and everywhere in between. We have an opportunity to use our energy effectively by knocking on doors, dropping literature, making phone calls, writing postcards, and making sure we turn out and vote.

It's time to turn anger in action! Call or email us to find out how to find out how you can help a local campaign in your community. There are opportunities for everyone to keep Summit County moving forward. 

Mark Derrig, 

Summit County Democratic Party Chair
