Our August meeting is set for Monday, August 16, at 6:00 PM at our temporary campaign headquarters located at 101 West Mountain in Fayetteville. The office space is shared by both the Democratic Party of Arkansas' coordinated campaign as well as David Whitaker's campaign.

This meeting is not a grand opening for the office, but rather a chance to determine our office needs. Furniture, office equipment, and other materials are needed.

Social time begins at 6:00 PM. The meeting will begin at 6:30 PM.

The Washington County Democratic Central Committee is set to host its fourth annual Democrats Rock concert Friday, August 27, at the home of Hershey and Denise Garner.

You can RSVP on Facebook.

The annual event has grown in each of its three years, and has in the past featured local musicians including The OneUps, Charliehorse, Benjamin Del Shreve, and The Bobby Drivers. Food and drink will be available, and guests can participate in a silent auction. Tickets are $25 or $10 with a current student ID. A portion of this year's proceeds go to support local Democratic candidates in November.

The Garner residence is located at 3390 East Mission Boulevard in Fayetteville. The event begins at 7:00 PM and runs until 11:00 PM. We encourage all local Democrats to attend.
