Truman Day’s was a resounding success!
To all those who attended and contributed to the event, I want express my appreciation. Thanks to your hard work and loyal participation, Missouri’s Democratic leaders view Truman Days as a “must-be-there” event.
Truman Days serves a vital role in preparing for next year’s election campaign. The annual event raises funds that make it possible to project the Democratic message of hope, change and responsibility to every corner of this large and diverse county.
Thank you to United States Senator Claire McCaskill for her gracious help in securing the participation of Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm as our keynote speaker. Governor Granholm rose to the occasion and reminded us all of the working people who depend on the Democratic Party to govern in their interests.
I know I speak for the entire Jackson County Democratic Committee by conveying our gratitude to the event organizers. Susan Dougherty, Sandy Querry, Carol Royster, Cathy Spainhower and Lanna Ultican served as co-chairs. In addition, the event committee consisted of Sherrie Brady, Judy Briggs, Chere Chaney, Miriam Hennosy, Alfred Jordan, “Dutch” Newman, Bonnaye Mims, Vicki Tarpley, Georgia Sanders, Tom Wyrsch and DeAun Young.
I will also take this opportunity to recognize the time and resources that our stalwart allies in the labor movement committed to the success of this year’s event. Last, but certainly not least, I want to congratulate Jackson County Democratic Chairman Steve Bough for assembling such a strong team of event organizers and serving as our Master of Ceremonies.
Great job one and all!
Mike Sanders
