Bluffton, IN – The Wells County Democratic Party has completed their reorganization meeting and is excited to welcome its new leadership. The party held its reorganization meeting on March 6th in a mixed virtual/in-person format, as required by the Indiana State Democratic Party every four years. The Wells County Democratic Party’s Precinct committee chairs and vice chairs were the only members able to vote in this election. The party’s new central committee were elected unanimously:
· Dylan McIntosh, Chair
· Mellanie Hollingsworth, Vice-Chair
· Brian Hollingsworth, Secretary
· John Bodner, Treasurer
“We are fighting for a better, fairer and brighter future for every Wells County resident. Public education, healthcare, equality & diversity, environmental issues and voting rights are all important topics that impact all of us living in Wells County. It is extremely important that our party and its leadership represent the community and engage our community about things that impact us locally, not just in Washington D.C. Our new leadership is ready to use their diverse set of skills and individual passions to guide our party forward, engage more Democrats in our county, and elect Democrats to local, state and Federal positions,” said Dylan McIntosh, who will be on his first term as party chair.
He also thanked longtime members Jake Reineck, Stacia Henderson, Theresa Sell and Wanda Frantz for their dedication and commitment to running the party leadership the last few years. He looks forward to working with them and utilizing their knowledge and experience in the coming years.
McIntosh said, “Although local Democrats have had poor results at the local and state polls in the past few election cycles, Democrats across the country have been in the majority since the 2008 election. Wells County as well as much of Indiana has been slow to reverse that direction. However, if we stay true to our values, help others and care for our community, Democrats can once again hold the majority after Wells County residents figure out that the Democratic Party is the party for all people.
