In 2023, the Washington County Democratic Party (WCDP) will be holding a series of non-partisan, educational, public forums open to all, regardless of political affiliation. The purpose of these events is to inform our communities about successes and challenges for our region across a variety of topics: diversity, education, the environment, workers’ rights, economic development, social justice, public safety, transportation, and healthcare. These forums will be held on the second Tuesday of the month, on the first and second month of each quarter throughout 2023, starting at 6:30 pm, at the Carver Recreation Center’s Community Room (322 W. Watauga Ave., Johnson City, TN 37604). The events will be live-streamed on our Facebook page here. We hope you will consider joining us for these events and engage in the discussion! |

AMENDMENTS
NO on Amendment #1
“An amendment to the TN Constitution relative to the ‘Right to Work’”
This amendment will take away rights from hard-working Americans and lower their wages. It is not good for the middle class & minorities.
YES on Amendment #3
“An amendment to the TN Constitution to prohibit slavery and involuntary servitude"
It’s about time slavery gets removed from the TN Constitution!
