Arizona: Stronger Adp

by David Safier

A group of Young Dems formed a group, A Stronger ADP (Arizona Democratic Party), in the weeks before the recent State Democratic Meeting where Don Bivens was elected Chair, after Paul Eckerstrom had been elected,then resigned . . . If you don't know the whole tangled tale, you can catch up on it elsewhere.

Anyway, Stronger ADP, whose members decided to cloak themselves in anonymity, created a detailed, thoughtful document about changes they hoped to see in the state party. Then, days before the meeting, they revealed their identities.

They attended the meeting filled with trepidation. To their surprise, they were greeted with support from rank and file Dems, elected officials and party officials.
