Candidate Statement submitted on behalf of Charles Knight, EMEA Region Candidate

Hello fellow Democrats,

I am honored to stand as a candidate for Democrats Abroad, representing Americans living in Belarus. Three years ago, I made the decision to move here, and since then, I have been deeply committed to our community. As a lifelong Democrat with a unique perspective—having voted for Jimmy Carter and initially identifying as a Reagan Republican—I understand the importance of bridging divides and advocating for our shared values.

In these challenging times, I am dedicated to supporting fellow Americans in Belarus. I believe in the power of community and the need for strong representation within Democrats Abroad. My goal is to ensure that our voices are heard and our concerns addressed, whether it be on issues like taxation, healthcare, or voting rights.

As your representative, I will work tirelessly to connect with our community, listen to your concerns, and amplify our collective voice within the Democratic Party. I am passionate about fostering a supportive environment for Americans abroad and advocating for policies that benefit us all.
I ask for your support in this election. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that our unique experiences and perspectives are represented within Democrats Abroad.

Thank you for considering my candidacy.
