After 10 years as a committee person I am honored to serve as zone leader for Brandywine Creek Democrats.  I am proud to be part of a team of hard working volunteers and committee people who serve our community.

In 2025 we face municipal elections which are all about our kitchen table issues. County row offices, school board directors, township offices, and judicial races matter and we must win them all. With Democrats holding those seats, we protect our communities from chaos from the current Washington administration and Republican state officials and judges.

Here’s how you can help. We are looking for a candidate to run for school board director in the West Chester Area School District and one for school board in East Fallowfield Township for the Coatesville School District.  Let me know if you are interested in running for any of these offices.

Your donations matter.  You may make a one-time donation or a sustaining one with our new ActBlue interface.

Please reach out if you have ideas and concerns. I look forward to serving as your zone leader and  meeting you at one of our monthly meetings or events.

Joanne Hill
Zone Leader, Brandywine Creek Democrats

Here are a few of the volunteer hours given today for MLK Day of Service by the BC Dems. Thanks to Meghan Berezza, Kelly Jurs , and  Bob Deist for caring for the dogs at La Mancha in Coatesville and to Bill Phifer for donating blood platelets in West Chester.

Congratulations to the Democratic legislators that represent the Brandywine Creek Democrats zone for their November 5, 2024 election wins:

US Congress, 6th PA District – Chrissy Houlahan
PA State Senate, 19th District – Carolyn Comitta
PA State House, 156th District (E. Bradford) – Chris Pielli
PA State House, 156th District (W. Bradford & E. Fallowfield) – Christina Sappey

While the Presidential and statewide races faced significant national headwinds and did not go our way, we are proud of the contributions of our zone volunteers who canvassed, made phone calls to chase mail-in ballots, and staffed the polls on Election Day. With you there, democracy works, so thank you.

Tuesday, November 5th is Election Day.

The Brandywine Creek Democrats have been hard at work canvassing, phone banking, notifying voters of defective mail-in ballots, and chasing ballots that have not been returned.  We owe a huge thanks to all our amazing volunteers in East & West Bradford and East Fallowfield.  Well done!

Now it’s your turn – help us elect an outstanding slate of Democratic Party candidates. Vote for Dems (the first name on the ballot in each race) up and down the ballot. You’ll be voting to move us forward, not take us back. You’ll be voting for experience, for progress, for empathy, and for a better Chester County and country.

Our Committeepersons and amazing volunteers will be manning the Dem tables outside on Election Day. Please stop and say hi and pick up a sample ballot; you can also download one here. The Poll Greeters can help with any questions you have about the voting process or this year’s candidates and races. You may be confident to know that we will also have certified poll watchers inside to monitor the voting and look for disruptive, illegal activity to report to the Chester County Democrats’ legal election response team.

And in case you are still on the fence about the presidency, here’s a great closing message from Kamala Harris.

See you Tuesday (unless you’ve already voted.)
