Portage County Democrats Club
You've got a home with the Dems
We are a group of Democrats from Portage County, OH. We want to reignite the party to fight for the rights of the people of Portage County. We want to keep our elected officials responsible, and fighting for all of their constituents. It can be difficult to speak to our representation in the House or Senate. So, we organize and make our voices heard.We are not directly affiliated with the Democratic Party.

Prior Topics
On June 23rd, Kyle Herman provided our June community conversation:
Ranked Choice Voting and How it Benefits Voters1. With Ranked Choice Voting, you can choose one candidate or rank the candidates in the order you prefer them.
2. If no candidate wins a majority and your favorite is in last place, your vote automatically counts for your second choice, and so forth.
3. It's just like a runoff, but instead of having to return to the polls, your vote transfers instantly since you already ranked your preferences.
4. This simple change will ensure that the winner has support from a majority of voters while leveling the field so that a greater diversity of parties and candidates can compete.
5. Ranked Choice Voting will put voters first and restore faith that their votes matter at this critical time by providing the freedom to vote for your true favorite without helping the candidate you like least.
6. Election integrity is stronger when more voters have confidence their votes will count.
On June 1, Dr. Mark Vopat came to Ravenna and presented on the SB1 for referendum petitions to get the voters' say on who we want teaching Higher Education. Do we want politicians to dictate what can or should be taught, or experts?
Future Topics
Upcoming talks:
How the cuts in Washington are affecting our Veterans!Property Taxes, why we need them and how to help those caught in a financial crunch.
