BATON ROUGE — The Louisiana Democratic Party will spend the day in Monroe all day on Wednesday, July 18, the next visit on the party’s Days of the Democrats summer swing across the state.
LDP Chairwoman Karen Carter Peterson will lead the delegation of state party officers, legislators and party leaders when it arrives on Tuesday morning.
A day-long series of public and private meetings will punctuate the day, as the party works to reconnect with its membership.
The day will begin with Monroe media interviews with LDP Chairwoman Karen Carter Peterson.
After rounds of private meetings with various constituent groups, the day will culminate with a 5:30 p.m. public reception in the Clarion Inn & Suites Conference Center, located at 1051 US 165 in Monroe.
At 6:15 p.m., the Northeast Louisiana edition of the Democratic Exchange will take place. This event will also be held in the Clarion Inn & Suites Conference Center.
The Democratic Exchanges are a standard feature of the Days of the Democrats project, giving party leaders, lawmakers and every day Democrats the opportunity to discuss the issues of the day in an informal setting.
The Days of the Democrats brings the leadership of the state party into each region of the state. The project also includes information gathering and fact-finding activities in each region.
The party will compile, assess and synthesize the information gathered on these ventures to provide party members a common set of facts, common data and a shared vocabulary with which will serve as the basis for the formulation of future party strategy and platforms.
