Reorganization Meeting
2025-04-29 18:30 - 20:00 | 718 Main Street, Paris, KY
Every four years, Democrats across the nation gather in their own voting precincts to organize and rebuild our volunteer efforts to support democracy, fairness, and economic justice. In Bourbon County, ALL registered Democrats are encouraged to attend the reorganization meeting on April 29 at 6:30 p.m. at the Hopewell Creative Arts Guild Gallery at 718 Main Street. We need people from all over the city and county, so that our representation has balance.
This year, the Kentucky Democratic Party has allowed for some changes that make “REORG” shorter and simpler. But we need YOU! First, Democrats choose their precinct leaders: a man, a woman, and a person male or female between the ages of 18 and 40—the YOUTH member.
The three persons from each precinct become the nominators and voters for members of the Executive Committee, which can be anywhere from 10 to 20 members, with the sexes equally balanced. One member should be in the Under 40 age group. The precinct representatives are also the ONLY people who vote to choose a Democratic candidate for a vacated elective office (NOTE: in 2007, Bourbon County had to replace 3 elected officials with special elections).
A person does not have to be present to be nominated. but be sure the person is willing to accept the nomination. A person may also nominate him/herself for the Executive Committee. Also elected will be the delegates to the state convention, which will be held in Owensboro on June 14 at the Owensboro Convention Center.
It is very important that as many Democrats as possible participate in this reorganizing process. Its goal is to bring new faces and opinions and outlooks into our democratic organization. See you on April 29 at 6:30 at 718 Main Street.

Bourbon County Democrats Executive Committee invites all Democrats, Independents, and those seeking a new political home to a FREE Meet & Greet at Bourbon County Park on Legion Drive on September 18 from 5 until 8 p.m. Our 6th Congressional District neighbors are included in the invitation. Food, fun, games, music, and of course, a smidgin of politics are planned.
We’ll serve a BBQ dinner with sides and desserts from 5 til 6:30. There will be brief speeches and Q&A opportunities by candidates for 2026 from 6 til 7 p.m. At 7, Bourbon County’s own Eric Cummins, one of Central Kentucky finest singer/guitarists, will play and sing the blend of country, classic rock, and blues he calls “Americana.”
The entire event is free to all, and children are definitely included in the invitation; however, donations will be gladly accepted.
Several candidates already running for offices in 2026 have agreed to attend: Zach Dembo, Cherlynn Stephenson and David Kloiber are candidates for the 6th Congressional District seat being vacated by Andy Barr; Lt. Governor Jacqueline Coleman will attend, as will Harrison County native Colmon Elridge, Chairman of the Kentucky Democratic Party. Invitations are out to several other candidates and state Democratic officials.
Eric Cummins will play from 7 to 8 p.m. When Eric appears at one of our local street music events, music lovers of all ages and types find their way to hear him play, solo or with his band, the Marble Creek Rangers. There aren’t many music venues in Central KY that he and his group have not entertained.
Mark your calendars now for the Democrats’ FREE event Thursday September 18 from 5 until 8 p.m. at the Bourbon County Park on Legion Drive.
