May 6 Insider Presentations
Our spring Seis de Mayo fundraiser will be mostly socializing and a casual opportunity to meet our school board and supervisor candidates. However, political nerds will be pleased to learn that two knowledgeable insiders have confirmed their participation:
State Senator, Andy Dinniman, the minority chair of the Education Committee, has been struggling in Harrisburg with the Corbett budget cuts affecting school districts and making life more difficult for T/E School Board President Karen Cruickshank and member Kevin Buraks. Senator Dinniman will brief us on education funding.
Tredyffrin resident Jim Brown is Senator Bob Casey’s Chief of Staff. Senator Casey is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Mr. Brown will be attending to share insider insights from Washington during this happening week.
May 6 House Party and Fundraiser
Our traditional spring cinco-de-mayo-themed fundraising event will be a house party at the home of Lois and Murph Wysocki on Friday, May 6. In addition to a pleasant evening of camaraderie, it will be the opportunity to meet and bond with all our outstanding candidates.
The local races are ours to run and fund. Our campaigns and our campaign spending (yard signs, mailings, posters, advertising and more) have already started. We need your donations and support starting now.

Biographical Background: Tredyffrin 2011 Democratic Candidates
“The school district has been battling the budget crunch caused by a declining real estate market, and now deep cuts in state aid to education have added further fiscal woes,” said TTDems Chair Dariel Jamieson. “On the commercial side, there are too many lost jobs and vacant store-fronts even in our prosperous community. Our candidates have already been working to preserve excellence in our schools and for sustainable quality-of-life enhancements to our community–all within today’s economic realities. These are Democrats standing for sound fiscal policies, sustainable excellence in our schools and fair, transparent local government.”
