I&#8217;m Sara Kruszka"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m running to be your Democratic State Executive Committeewoman in Tennessee&#8217;s 15 State Senatorial District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since I announced my candidacy, the number one question I get is, &#8220;Cool. Yeah. What is it exactly that you&#8217;re running for?&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which is a valid question. The Democratic Party in Tennessee remains sort of a mystery to most people these days. But I&#8217;m running for the Democratic State Executive Committee, which is essentially the Democratic Party leadership in Tennessee. That&#8217;s who makes the decisions for the party at the state level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are 66 Executive Committee members, and then officers. The membership is comprised of one man, and one woman, from each of Tennessee&#8217;s 33 State Senate District. I&#8217;m running in District 15, where our State Senator is currently Paul Bailey, who is running unopposed in the upcoming election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">District 15 consists of Cumberland, Jackson, Putnam, Smith, Van Buren, and White counties. Your State Executive Committee members should be consistently attending those counties&#8217; party meetings, as they are liaisons between the county and the state. They can assist with resources, training, party building, candidate recruitment, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m running because here in Putnam County, we&#8217;ve essentially figured all of this out on our own. I want to take what we&#8217;ve learned and help the other counties in the district, while being a strong voice for rural Tennessee in the TNDP. I believe as a party, we can do more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can learn more about me on the Putnam County Democrat&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/putnamdemocrats.org\/candidate\/sara-kruszka\/\">website,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/votesaratn\">Instagram<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VoteSaraTN\/\">Facebook<\/a>.
