Our New State Democratic Chair?
One can only hope–and/or become a delegate to the State Convention to make sure that the Betsy Maron Era is over.
Evelyn Waters Brady, who recently served as Matt Meyer’s Transition Director, has been credibly linked to the post. In other words, credible sources are saying that she’s running for the position. I love her background, especially her involvement with Network Delaware:
A former public school teacher, Evelyn began her civic journey with Network Delaware and the Delaware Voting Rights Coalition and has since remained politically active as a dedicated advocate for voting rights and reproductive health. She currently serves on the Delaware Democratic Party’s 12th Representative District Committee, where she educates voters on key issues and candidates.
Evelyn serves on the Boards of Directors for Action for Delaware’s Children, Planned Parenthood of Delaware, and Serviam Girls Academy. She mentors school children through Connecting Generations and has co-chaired the Governor’s School Mentoring and Literacy Task Force.She’s a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Zeta Omega Chapter, and an Associate member of the New Castle County Chapter of Jack & Jill of America, Incorporated.
Evelyn is also President of Creative Hearts for the Arts, a chapter of The Society, Incorporated, which supports arts initiatives for underserved communities. She holds degrees from Dartmouth College and Lesley University and is a graduate of the Metropolitan Wilmington Urban League’s Gilliam Fellowship Program.
Ok. Well I’m happy she is a member of an RD. I hope she was an active member. I do have some concerns she seemed to never serve in any leadership positions in the party? Local RD chair for example or even officer (treasurer etc) maybe? I’m not opposed in any way (I really don’t know her) but it’s quite the jump from a random RD member to state chair. I be interested in learning more I suppose.
She’s been involved in grassroots politics, got her START in grassroots politics in fact, and she did have an important position with our new Governor.
The LAST thing we need is yet another insider who hasn’t knocked doors in forty years and has Bobby Byrd on speed-dial.
