Easttown Democrats Celebrate Election Success!

Congratulations!  Thanks in part to the efforts of the Easttown Democrats, President-Elect Barack Obama is the first Democratic candidate for President to win Chester County since 1964! As you can see from the chart below, Senator Obama won 50.6% of the votes in Easttown, a pretty amazing feat considering registered Democrats make up only thirty-five percent of the voters here.  For more detailed Pennsylvania election coverage visit, www.electionreturns.state.pa.us.

The Easttown Democrats organized an outstanding election effort.  Easttown Democrats staffed all of Easttown’s seven polling places for the entire day.  Friendly, helpful greeters met voters throughout the township, and poll watchers kept a careful eye on activity in all the polling areas.   “I want to thank everyone for their enthusiasm and teamwork,” said Marian Schneider, chairwoman of the Easttown Township Democratic Committee.  “We have more than 2,700 registered Democrats in Easttown and our base is solid and growing. With everyone’s continued support we can build on this success as we move forward.”

Here are some election results for Easttown Township:

The Chester County Democrats held a fundraiser on October 19 in Downingtown and the Easttown Democrats were in full attendance.  Featured guests included Governor Ed Rendell, Congressman Joe Sestak and Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch.  The event raised funds to help with the year’s important election on November 4.

The Easttown Democrats  kicked off the election season with a picnic and pool party at the home of Lisa and Steve Sugarman on Sunday, September 14.  More than 75 area residents and several local politicians attended, including U.S. Congressman Joe Sestak and Chester County Commissioner Kathi Cozzone.  State Representative Candidate Carol Palmaccio was also there, and she talked with many Easttown residents about their concerns.  2008 election yard signs, bumper stickers and pins are available by e-mailing the Easttown Township Democractic Committee at info@easttowndems.org .
