The Lincoln County Democratic Committee’s (LCDC)  monthly meeting is an opportunity to meet members, participate in discussion, hear from political candidates, public officials and other speakers with expertise, ideas and opinions about current issues.

The next meeting is on Thursday, July 18, 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room at the Fire Station, 86 River Rd., Newcastle.

This month’s agenda includes the opportunity for attendees to meet and hear from Bre “Bee Kay” Kidman of Saco, the first Democrat to announce a run for the U.S. Senate seat up for grabs in 2020.

Kidman shares this about her upcoming visit, “I’m looking forward to meeting with folks in Lincoln County to find out what they want from our next U.S. Senator. I’m excited to hear what local issues and causes could use support and visibility, and to talk with folks about a campaign that pledges to put the service back in public service and prioritize action over advertising.”

The Fundraising Committee reminds attendees to bring checks or cash to purchase “Treat for Two” raffle tickets. $30 per chance to win a $300 value farm to table island dining experience. Learn more at http://lincolncountydemocrats.com/raffle
