ST. MARYS — The Elk County Democratic Committee will host two events this week, its monthly meeting Wednesday evening followed by a Coffee & Donuts Petition event Saturday morning.

Wednesday’s meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the Elk County Democratic Headquarters, 210 Brusselles St. In addition to the in-person meeting, a remote Zoom option is also available. Zoom credentials are available by emailing elkcountydemocrats@gmail.com. Topics of discussion include the upcoming municipal election, candidate recruitment and petition signing, special elections for state offices in Pennsylvania and federal elections in New York and Florida, fundraising and outreach goals for 2025, and initial planning for other events throughout the year. All precinct committee members, Democrats interested in running for office in 2025, and all area Democrats are encouraged to attend.

Rounding out the week, the committee will have the Coffee & Donuts petition signing event, open to all area Democrats, from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at headquarters. The committee has petition forms for both of its statewide judicial candidates, Judge Brandon Neuman for Superior Court and Judge Stella Tsai for Commonwealth Court. 

In addition, all Democratic candidates for local office can attend with their petition forms and meet the vote. The committee chair will be there to inform candidates about various candidate resources including sign and literature design assistance, volunteer support for phone banking and canvassing, potential financial support and candidate meeting space, as well as access to and assistance with Votebuilder, the party’s online voter database.

This year marks the fourth year in a row that the Elk County Democratic Committee will have a permanent headquarters, one of the smallest counties in the state to do so, representatives said. For more information, call or text (814) 636-1030.
