Stephen Webber, head of the Missouri Democratic Party, wants the party to field a candidate in every race in 2018.
The party has a special e-mail – run@missouridems.org – for those considering running for office. Two staff members are dedicated to recruiting and assisting candidates.
The state party is also organizing “truth teams” to quickly respond on social media to ‘alternative facts’ and Republican actions.
Democrats also heard advice on how to get involved in state and local boards. Speakers included Senator Scott Sifton, Linda Henry from St. Louis County, and, Kirkwood Deputy Mayor Paul Ward. And, better than two-dozen activist organizations – including West County Democrats – shared information with those attending.
