Richmond Democratic Town Committee

Happy Thanksgiving!

Now that the shutdown is over and federal workers are expected to receive pay still the delay caused financial hardship to workers. This step is meant to ease some of the financial strain on our neighbors who continue to provide essential services during this difficult time. #RDTC #richmondems

Thank you to the Richmond (RI) Town Council who approved a resolution to support federal employees affected by the shutdown. For any federal workers who went without pay, 2nd-quarter taxes due on December 7th can now be delayed without penalties or interest for an additional 60 days.

In 349 days, you’re going to go to the polls, and you have a chance to make an impact. If you want to see someone who brings hope on the ballot, that person is your neighbor now. Encourage them to run. Let’s make sure our candidates are successful. Let’s make change together.

The results 2 weeks ago came from local people standing up to help, from people who are parents, neighbors who had enough. From people running for office. From volunteers who knocked on doors, who registered voters, who raised money. It came from those who got together to make their own change.

Two weeks ago victories in Virginia, New Jersey, New York, and California brought new hope. Out of 32 school committee races that Moms for Liberty ran in, they didn’t succeed in a single race. In spite of the negativity we see in the news and on social media, real voters want responsible leadership
