March Events

March is a big & busy month for bees and for Flower Mound Area Democrats who like to socialize AND ARE DETERMINED to see their fellow Dems nominated in the Democratic Primary and ultimately elected to office in the General. Everything you care about is embodied in these candidates. But they have to be voted on, to be elected, to affect the policies & changes we all want, and to keep the far and furry MAGA right from taking cruel control of all our lives and destroying our democracy. So, if you haven’t yet, GO VOTE and encourage your friends, neighbors, and family members to go vote too. Early voting is still available from now until March 1st. Primary Election Day is March 5th. And don’t forget to mark your calendars and make your plans to attend this month’s many club activities and events.

What: It’s time to support the Democratic Party by voting for the Democratic Candidates you want to win the Democratic Nomination and go on to beat the Republicans in the General Election in November.
