PORT ANGELES — Democrats in the 24th District will elect officers Saturday.
The meeting will be at 11 a.m. at the Port Angeles Library, 2210 S. Peabody St.
The chair, vice chair and state committeeman and state committeewoman will be selected at the meeting for two-year terms by the Democratic precinct committee officers, who were elected during the August primary.
Anyone can nominate or be nominated for any of the positions, said Bill Miller, chairman. All are welcome to attend.
The 24th District includes Clallam and Jefferson counties and a portion of Grays Harbor County.
The chair and vice chair preside over the meetings. Only one per year is required, but other meetings may be called for purposes replacing officers, appointing precinct committee officers or other reasons, Miller said.
The state committeeman and state committeewoman may vote on state party issues.
“I think those are the most important positions being elected,” Miller said.
The purpose of the group is to help more Democrats be elected to office, Miller said.
“We have a unique situation here that maybe only five districts in the state have. We have a very large geographic area to cover, so we end up relying heavily on the county party for things, but we hope that we can draw the three areas closer together,” Miller said.
Miller said that while he is chairman now, he expects that someone else will step up to run for the position for the next two-year term.
