Bartow County Democratic Party

📣 Where you at, Bartow County Democrats?!

In the first THREE days of early voting, fewer than 100 Democrats have cast a ballot.

But in May, nearly 4,500 of us showed up to vote in the Primary. We need that energy again — because these runoff races matter.

🗳 On the ballot:
✔ Lieutenant Governor
John McLaurin & Nabilah Parkes

✔ Secretary of State
Dana Barrett & Penny Brown Reynolds

✔ Commissioner of Insurance
DeAndre Mathis & Keisha Sean Waites

✔ Commissioner of Labor
Nikki Porcher & Michelle Michi Sanchez

The Democrats we choose NOW will be the candidates who carry our values into November. These races will help shape the future of voting rights, public services, workers’ protections, and opportunity in Georgia.

And the best part?
Voting literally takes LESS THAN 5 MINUTES.

So let’s show up for our communities, for our future, and for each other. Let’s remind Georgia that Bartow Democrats are ready to do the work and finish strong.

📣 The June 22 Bartow Democrats meeting is one of the most important meetings we will hold all year — and we need all Democrats living in Bartow County to be there.

At this meeting, members will elect our next Post Holders and our State Convention Delegates.

Why does this matter?

🗳️ Post Holders are the voting members of the Bartow County Democratic Committee. They help shape the direction of our local party — and many of them go on to run for Executive Committee leadership positions during our November elections.

The people elected in June will help shape the future leadership of Democrats in Bartow County.

🏛️ We will also elect delegates to represent Bartow County at the Democratic Party of Georgia State Convention in Savannah this August.

It is important that Bartow County show up with a full delegation and make our voices heard. We want everyone across Georgia to know that Bartow is organized, engaged, growing, and ready to be noticed.

Any Democrat registered to vote in Bartow County can vote in these elections.

📅 June 22, 2026
⏰ Check-in begins at 6PM
Meeting begins promptly at 6:30PM

Local leadership matters. Participation matters. The future of our county party starts with the people who show up.

Pride Month is a celebration of love, identity, courage, and community — but it also began as a protest.

In June 1969, LGBTQ+ Americans, led in large part by transgender women and activists of color, stood up against discrimination and police harassment at the Stonewall uprising in New York City. Their courage sparked a movement that continues today in the ongoing fight for equality, dignity, and human rights.

More than 50 years later, that fight is far from over.

Across the country, LGBTQ+ Americans — especially transgender youth and their families — are facing attacks on their rights, healthcare, education, and ability to live openly and safely. Here in Georgia and nationwide, elections have real consequences for the protections, freedoms, and opportunities available to our LGBTQ+ friends and neighbors.

Pride is about celebration, but it is also about solidarity and action.

Voting is one of the most powerful tools we have to defend human rights, elect leaders who believe in equality, and build communities where everyone can live authentically without fear.

This Pride Month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community — their history, their resilience, and their contributions to our country and our communities. And we recommit ourselves to the work of protecting freedom and justice for all.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈
