Towns Democrats hosting Open House April 15

       Towns County Democrats invite the public to join them for an open house at their new and improved headquarters on Tuesday, April 15.

The event will begin at 11:30 a.m. at the headquarters office at 355 North Main Street, Suite C, in Hiawassee’s Lakeside Plaza, next to Bachus on the Lake.  

      The open house will be held in conjunction with the Hiawassee Downtown Development Authority. Light refreshments will be served.

“We want this office to be a resource for the community to learn about Democratic Party priorities and policies for making Towns County, Georgia, and the nation a place where people enjoy freedom in a just society with opportunity for everyone to prosper,”  said Towns County Democrats Chair David Plunkett. 

      Visitors to the office will find a number of resources, including voter registration information, copies of the U.S. Constitution,  information on Democratic policies, a lending library, and information on state and federal elections in 2025 and 2026.  In 2025, two seats on the state Public Service Commission will be up for election, and in 2026 elections will be held for the U.S. Senate seat presently held by Jon Ossoff as well as Georgia governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and attorney general, among others.  

      The office space includes a conference room where community groups can meet, such as the progressive women’s group which uses the facility on the first Thursday of the month, and a local writer’s group which will be holding writing workshops.
