We will not be meeting April 2nd due to the pandemic and restrictions to gathering. Once it is safe to meet, we will be scheduling a make-up meeting. Also, we will be setting up an informal Zoom meeting in the near future that you can jump into if you have the technology so that we can check in and find out ways that we can help our local candidates. That announcement will come soon.

Finally, if you did not vote already via early voting or absentee voting for the primary that was supposed to take place on March 17th, request your absentee ballot ASAP. The home page of the Wood County Board of Elections has a link to the application that you can print out as well as directions on how to request a ballot if you do not have access to a printer: www.co.wood.oh.us/BOE/

If you need help requesting a ballot, email us and we can make sure a request form is sent to you. Remember our endorsed candidates can be found here:  http://www.woodcodemocrats.org/democratic-candidates.html

On Saturday, August 11, 2018, the Wood County Democratic Party Central Committee voted unanimously to name Aidan Hubbell-Staeble the Democratic Candidate for District 3 State Representative, which covers all of Wood County. This position was vacant due to the resignation of Daniel Gordon.
 
“Aidan brings innovative ideas, proven leadership abilities and would be a great representative for us down in Columbus,” stated Mike Zickar, Wood County Democratic Party Chair.
 
Mr. Hubbell-Staeble is a lifelong Bowling Green resident and former President of the Bowling Green State University College Democrats. A member of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union through The Kroger Company, he is completing a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Philosophy at Bowling Green State University. His work in the community includes annually volunteering for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service in Bowling Green.
 
“I’m excited for this opportunity and pledge to earn Wood County voters’ trust and to never be a rubber stamp,” shared Mr. Hubbell-Staeble. “Our legislature could do a better job planning for the future of our state, and I’m looking forward to working very hard in a bipartisan way to make this vision a reality.”
 
Mr. Hubbell-Staeble’s platform includes a focus on affordable housing to attract more young families, supporting Medicaid expansion and increasing oversight of for-profit charter schools.
 
“One of the most important jobs of a State Representative is listening to constituents,” stated Mr. Hubbell-Staeble. “I feel my leadership experience and roots here make me an ideal candidate for this crucial position to keep our state moving in a positive direction.”

Wood County Democratic Party will meet on Thursday, September 6 and Thursday, October 4 at 7 p.m. at the Simpson Garden Park Building (1291 Conneaut Ave, Bowling Green).
