Thanks from new Democrat leadership

Dear Editor:

On behalf of Mike Simmons, 1st Vice Chair/Treasurer; Terry Rigney, 2nd Vice Chair/Secretary; and myself, Blanca O’Leary, Chair; I we would like to thank the members of the Pitkin County Democratic Party that voted us in by acclamation last week.

We thank our previous Pitkin County Chair, Camilla Auger, for her long and distinguished tenure of service to the Pitkin County Democratic Party and we congratulate her on being elected to the Pitkin County Democratic Party Central Committee.

Additionally, we are bowled over by the gracious letter to the editor that you published on Thursday from the Pitkin County Republican Party Chair, Frieda Wallison, congratulating me on my election as chair of the Pitkin County Democrats. The officers of the Pitkin County Democrats also pledge to continue the spirit of collaboration between the parties.

Blanca O’Leary, Chair, Pitkin County Democrats

Mike Simmons, 1st Vice Chair/Treasurer

Terry Rigney, 2nd Vice Chair/Secretary
