Message from the Chair This month’s LD meeting will feature State Supreme Court Justice Sheryl Gordon McCloud as a guest speaker. Justice McCloud will explain the role of the state Supreme Court justices, what the requirements are to hold the office and what types of cases come before them. Justice McCloud is an incumbent and not running for any of the current five seats open. In keeping with judicial ethics, she will not advocate for any candidate for office. This will be your opportunity to become educated and informed about this branch of our state government. Our LD will have its annual picnic on Saturday June 27 at Raab Park in Poulsbo. Shannon is working to get Smokin Robinson’s BBQ to be there and we rely on our members to bring the side dishes, salads and desserts. It is also an opportunity for candidates and elected officials to share a few words with the crowd. The picnic starts at 11 am and ends at 2 pm. A lot of information is being shared from legitimate sources regarding the issues facing our LD and how they will be addressed at the LD meeting on May 28. Please read that information as it comes out and familiarize yourself with what is included. The more informed you are, the better the discussion and decisions will be made. We are heading into the beginning of our election season and we need to get ourselves ready and focused on what we can do to make sure our Democratic candidates get elected. While the 23rd is considered a strong Democratic LD, we cannot take that for granted. It is our hard work that keeps it that way. It also means we can share that power with our fellow LDs like the 26th and 35th who would love help to turn their areas solid blue as well. So, please consider doing work in our neighboring LDs along with supporting ours. Reminders: 1) Our 2026 State Democratic Convention will be held in Spokane, WA on June 19th-21st, 2026! All Democrats are welcome to attend. You do not need to be an elected official, an elected or appointed official from your LD or county organization to attend the convention. It’s a great way to meet others from the different parts of the state and have good, in-depth discussions on the issues of the day. Broaden your horizons and get to the other side of the state! See you on Thursday, May 28 at the Poulsbo downstairs meeting room. Val, Chair, 23rd LD Democrats YOUNG DEMOCRATS INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DELEGATION Help Leiyomi represent us in Taiwan, building new leaders globally
From: The Young Democrats of America RE: Fundraising for Young Democrats International Youth Delegation We are pleased to invite Leiyomi Preciado to represent the Young Democrats of America at the general assembly of our global alliance, the International Federation of Liberal Youth (IFLRY). The conference will take place June 11-14, 2026, in Taipei, Taiwan. This is an opportunity to participate in multicultural and multi-polar negotiations and governance. IFLRY is composed of over 70 youth wings of liberal political parties globally, and its programs include education, training, and empowerment of young leaders. Delegates will have the opportunity to write resolutions, review finances, and network with a global community. This opportunity is self-funded, and we humbly ask you to contribute to the cost of Leiyomi’s participation. With flights, accommodation, and registration fees, the estimated cost of participation is $2000, so a contribution of any size goes a long way. Contributions also make this opportunity more accessible, particularly to young delegates from diverse backgrounds. YDA’s positive presence at IFLRY inspires interest and means people volunteer to help in our elections. During the 2024 cycle, international volunteers knocked over 2,000 doors in swing districts. With more delegates from critical battleground states like Virginia, we make even more of an impression and communicate how important it is that Democrats win elections. We would be honored to have Leiyomi join us, and we hope to count on your financial support for her as a delegate. Beyond supporting a strong representative on the global stage, your funds help strengthen bonds between American youth and a global community of like-minded young people. No moneys will benefit any candidate or partisan electoral campaign. Gennifer Geer International Officer, Young Democrats of America |
