The monthly meeting of Democrat Women of Mercer County was a kick-off to petition season. Every candidate must get enough signatures of registered voters in their party to get on the ballot. DWMC helped in a big way. For John Fetterman and Josh Shapiro, Mercer was among the top five counties in number of petition signatures and among the top three for Brian Sims.
Because of disputes on drawing the new state legislative districts, candidates for state offices could not start circulating petitions until last weekend. DWMC members are carrying petitions for Rianna Czech for State Senate and Mitchel Henderson and Tim McGonigle for State Representative. Petitions will be available to sign Wednesday, March 23 from 5:30 to 8 PM at Our Gang’s, 93 North Sharpsville Avenue in Sharon and on Saturday, March 26 from 10 AM to noon at Faraone Brothers, 1015 S. Mill Street in New Castle. It’s expensive to run for office, so members were asked to support the candidates: Rianna Czech by credit card through ActBlue.com or a check payable to Czech for Change, PO Box 298, Conneautville, PA 16406; Mitchel Henderson by check payable to Committee to Elect Mitchel Henderson, 135 Plum St, Greenville, PA 16125.; Tim McGonigle by check payable to Friends of Tim McGonigle, PO Box 1235, Hermitage, PA 16148. DWMC members are holding voter registration events, collecting children’s books to give out at a local Juneteenth celebration, and participating in the Memory Walk Against Addiction on Saturday, April 30.
