		We join forces to win more elections! It was a pleasure co-hosting with Franklin County (WA) Democrats for yesterday's Precinct Committee Officer training! And thank you to all Democrats from all of the legislative districts in the Tri-Cities who joined us.It was a packed house at tonight's Democrat Precinct Committee Officer training for PCOs from Franklin and Benton Counties. Others joined on Zoom.  It was an excellent training.  Many thanks to Ken, Karen and John for conducting the training and to Carl for tech support.
