Though the group expected to have around 15 people in attendance, the turnout ended up being well over double that.

“The energy is unbelievable; I have been inspired,” said Jack Devareaux, party subcommittee chair. “We are in a crucial moment that demands resolve and moves us forward. … We are not going back.”

A vision board was presented asking those in attendance, “What does freedom mean to you?” and the answers included:

“Freedom to make choices for my body.”

Times Observer Photos by Heather Cathcart-Norris Warren County Dems program subcommittee chair Jack Devareaux addressed the over thirty attendees, encouraging them to “step forward and speak out.”

“To care about and take action to preserve and protect nature.”

“To be able to love and marry the person I choose.”

The DNC over the past week re-energized voters and the group is keeping the energy and ready to support the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket in November.

Warren County Dems last big event before the Nov 5 election is the Harvest of Hope Gala on Oct. 10 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Conewango Club. The event is an opportunity to meet and hear from the candidates who will be shaping the future of our state and federal government.

Bring questions, share ideas, and get inspired by their vision for Pennsylvania.
