Greetings Fellow Democrats!
     Many thanks to our friends in Catonsville Indivisible, notably Sue Radke, for organizing the Vigil on Saturday. As always, D. Jack MacConnell was hosting the weekly sign wave afterward at the Frederick Rd. overpass. Councilmen Patoka and Young were there, as were Delegates Ebersole and Ruth.
     See below for upcoming events, including 3 bills being introduced at the County Council; one regarding Data Centers and two addressing the concerns of our immigrant neighbors. There are Links to those bills in this email.
            Stay tuned as we swing into 2026
Don't forget to renew your dues!       (see bottom of this email)
