Hall for biennial reorganization meetings. Leslie Wahl of Yakima was elected to a full two-year term as chair of the 14th Legislative District. She has been chair since June when Ron Bonlender stepped down to run for the State Legislature. Tomas Villanueva of Toppenish is the new chair of the 15th Legislative District, succeeding Wendall Hannigan of White Swan. Active in State and Lower Valley Latino activities, Villanueva was a State Senate candidate in the last election. Patricia Whitefoot of White Swan was elected 1st vice chair and state committee woman; and Russell Shjerven of Toppenish was elected state committee man. George said in his acceptance speech, ?We have to work harder in the next two years to build our ranks and revive the two-party system here. Sadly, November?s Blue Wave missed Yakima County and with it a great opportunity to send a Yakima Democrat to the State Legislature for first time in 18 years. ?However, we are happy that our party regained control of the Congress and built super majorities in the State House and Senate to support Governor Gregoire. The Yakima Democrats intend to be active in the upcoming legislative session pushing programs that will benefit our area.? In returning to the post he held in 2003-04, George succeeds Ellen (Leni) Skarin, who will continue party involvement as secretary of the 14th LD. Jo Ann Tollefson was elected 1st vice chair of the Central Committee; Ron Bonlender, 2nd vice chair; Dany Adolf of Wapato, state committee man; and Mary Stephenson of Yakima, state committee woman. PCOs elected Rockey Marshall vice chair of the 14th LD; Aaron Case, state committee man; and Joyce Hart, state committee woman. Many of the new officers will be in Olympia Jan. 26-27 for the reorganization meeting of the Washington State Democratic Central Committee -30- From yakdems-announce at yakimademocrats.com Wed Dec 20 11:38:45 2006 From: yakdems-announce at yakimademocrats.com (yakdems-announce@yakimademocrats.com) Date: Wed Dec 20 11:52:53 2006 Subject: [Yakima Democrats] [Fwd: Happy Holidays and a Busy New Year] Message-ID: <45899145.5030301@yakima.net> -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...
