The website is back online. I’ve made some slight changes to the layout and I’ll have to recategorize posts that didn’t transfer their posts together. We are now hosted on Dreamhost! http://dreamhost.com/

Congratulations are in order for Azziem Underwood who was elected by his fellow state committee men and women in the 8th Congressional District to be their leader!!
He ran in a contested race and won handily. Azziem will represent the 8th Congressional on the WSDCC Executive Board.
Three cheers for Azziem – I believe this is a first for the 11th LD Democrats!!
