"Where Do We Go from Here" will be the theme of a participatory forum focusing on the Democratic Party's widespread Nov. 3 statewide and national victories when members of the Gillespie County Democratic Association (GCDA) meet at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, at Gillespie County Democratic Party headquarters, 209 N. Crockett St., Suite 1. "What should our priorities be for the coming year and perhaps beyond at national, state and local levels and what are our hopes and dreams for making them come true?" are among the advance questions posed this week by GCDA President Charlotte Freeborn for those planning to attend the meeting.

Joining her in moderating the forum - which she suggested could also include such other topics as thoughts about and predictions for the 2028 election - will be Jerry Vaclav, Gillespie County Democratic Party chair.

Also planned for the organization's Nov. 18 meeting will be the election of GCDA officers for 2027 as presented by the group's nominations committee.
