Welcome back. Now that the summer season is winding down, it is time to refocus our efforts on the 2021 election season.

Therefore, the Club invited Idaho Democratic Party (IDP) Executive Director Jared DeLoof to meet with us. If you attend our weekly IDP Zoom meetings, you know about Jared’s efforts to create the IDP’s statewide messaging on prominent issues. Thanks to Jared, we now see more progressive voices represented in the Letters to the Editor sections of newspapers throughout Idaho. However, whether this messaging effort impacts our state, and our elections, depends on all of us.

So, join Jared this Friday at noon, ONLINE to hear how we all can help in this effort.

We distribute a Zoom link for our club meeting on the Thursday prior to the meeting date. To request the link or assistance getting connected, contact Phil at pjwmia@aol.com.

Also, find videos of past Club meetings at KootenaiCountyDemClub.com/Meeting Videos.

About Jared DeLoof

IDP Chair Fred Cornforth announced the hiring of Jared DeLoof to serve as Executive Director heading into the 2022 election cycle. He comes to the IDP after five years of working with NextGen America registering hundreds of thousands of voters and electing Democrats up and down the ballot. “Jared’s experience in grassroots organizing and registering voters will serve the organization well as we lay the groundwork and strategy for a groundbreaking statewide organizing effort as we head into 2022,” Chairman Cornforth said. “We couldn’t be more excited about his experience and knowledge he will bring to Idaho to help capitalize on the radicalization and defeat the out-of-touch GOP politicians in the Idaho legislature.”

DeLoof is a native of Spring Mills in central Pennsylvania and attended Penn State University. He brings his experience as a farm kid and rural organizer for President Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns as well as a decade of experience registering and mobilizing young voters to support the Democratic Party.
