You are needed for Democrats to win! President Obama needs Ohio to beat the Republicans and keep the White House and Cuyahoga County (that’s us!) is the swing county in the swing state. That means the President needs you! Senator Sherrod Brown, Congresswoman Betty Sutton, and State Representative Candidate, Andy Meyer, all need you! If you can just make a few phone calls a few evenings from your home, that would make a difference. We will drop off phone numbers to your home, with a script so you know what to say, and pick up the list when you’re done. If you can help out, or if you’re interested in joining others going door to door in Fairview Park for a few hours, please contact us at fairviewdems@gmail.com.
Definitely put this on your calendar! Wonder what the “War On Women” is all about? Come to an exciting forum on Tuesday, June 19, from 6:30-8:30 pm at Rocky River’s Umerly Center, 21016 Hilliard. Hear speakers from state and county leadership outline what this war is all about and how we can fight back.
New City Leader, Danielle Sundberg, and Deputy Nancy Gallagher Given
Our new Fairview Park City Leader was elected. Danielle Sundberg, has been a loyal officer of our Democratic Club, serving as Recording Secretary, as well as actively serving Fairview Park Precinct 3C as the Cuyahoga County Democratic Precinct Committee Representative since 2009. Danielle led the Club’s Political Activity-Membership Committee (chaired by Sandra Davenport) campaign, reaching out to residents to build Democratic organizational capacity in the city, as well as bolster the ranks of the club’s membership. Working with the Ohio Democratic Party, 920 letters were mailed to Fairview Park Democrats, with follow up telephone calls, raising awareness of the Democratic energy in our city, and gaining at least 14 new paid members for the Club. Additionally, Danielle was the 2008 Fairview Park Phone Bank Captain for the very successful Obama for America Campaign, and served tirelessly as Volunteer Coordinator for Peggy Cleary’s Statehouse Campaign in 2010.
Danielle has lived in Cuyahoga County all of her life, and in the City of Fairview park for over 18 years. She is married to Bruce, with two grown sons, and works as an Executive Legal Secretary at Squire, Sanders & Dempsey.
Danielle states that “The Democratic City Leader in Fairview Park needs to have the ability and desire to reach out and encourage people to become involved in our local Democratic Party and must have a respectful relationship with our elected Democratic officials. Working together, we need to continue to protect the progress made to keep this country moving forward. My vision as City Leader is to inspire Democrats to a greater level of involvement and awareness.”
Danielle has selected Nancy Gallagher-Given as her Deputy Ward Leader, a lifetime resident of Fairview Park, married to Bob, with three children. Nancy has been an active member of our Club, as well as a Precinct Committee Representative, since 1990. She also serves on the Cuyahoga County Executive Board. Nancy worked for Rocky River Municipal Court and Lakewood Municipal Court for over 20 years. She has been involved in many campaigns for a variety of area elected officials, working closely with the Cuyahoga County Democratic headquarters on issues of importance to our community.
We congratulate and welcome our new city leadership and look forward to working with them on the many exciting challenges and opportunities facing our city, state and nation in the years ahead.
