Mayor DeStefano and I attended the Newington Democratic Town Committee meeting last night. There were balloons everywhere, along with a feast of meatballs, pepperoni, cheese and crackers. I wish I could say that Newington was celebrating the Mayor’s arrival but we were actually attending their DTC’s anniversary celebration.

The Mayor met lots of smiling faces, including a young man named Matt who was attending his first Democratic Town Committee. Joe Klet, the Newington Town Chair, introduced us to Matt because he was so excited to see a first timer at the meeting. It is surprisingly rare to meet younger men and women at these meetings. I have attended dozens of Democratic Town Committees and I have seen again and again that men and women under 30 hardly ever attend them.

In many ways, this mirrors voter participation, so I have to wonder: what will it take to get more younger adults to attend DTC meetings? And if they do begin attending in greater numbers, will their voter participation rates increase as well?

What can we do to engage young Democrats, they are the future of our party and they essential for our survival!
