Fund Stuart Anderson's Trip to DNC 2024

Hello, I am Stuart Anderson a Democrat from Washington DC.

The Democratic National Convention will take place in Chicago from August 19 to 22. I have been elected to be one of Washington DC’s Democratic delegates. I need your support to make the trip. I Serve as both the 2nd Vice President for the Ward 8 Dems and the Ward 8 Committeeman, working to engage, inform and advise Democratic voters to advance basic principles of equity, accountability and transparency. As a leader in the Democratic Party here in the District of Columbia I believe, with the increasing threats coming from the MAGA extremist growing across our country, we need strong voices guiding the trajectory of our democracy.

The convention will be held at the United Center, a 20,000-seat arena, home of the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks. Given President Joe Biden stepping aside, I want to be there to make sure that Vice President Kamala Harris becomes our party’s nominee. Delegates from all 50 States and seven territories have been awarded delegates who will gather to vote on the party’s nominee. Right now, I believe that VP Kamala Harris is our best route to victory in November! I need your donations to make the trip in order to help keep people united behind the Harris Democratic ticket.

I have been recognized as an authority on issues ranging from politics to public safety and judicial issues. Some of you will recall, I lead the creation of the Returning Citizens constituent group within the DC Democratic Party here in Washington. I was educated via the DC public school system, the University of the District of Columbia and Georgetown University. I have been a strong Advocate for DC Statehood and played key roles in local democratic Mayoral, Attorney General, Shadow Representative, and DC Council races here in the District.

This is the first time since the 2016 presidential election cycle that the Democratic National Convention has been held in person after it was done virtually in Milwaukee in 2020 because of the pandemic. It is critical that DC has its full contingent of elected leaders present for the DNC. Yes, to show our full support for VP Kamala Harris but to also articulate and promote our Democratic platform at the 2024 Democratic National Convention.

I think back to 1968 with all of the controversial protests which took place in the Windy City at that Democratic National Convention. I think of all that I have learnt about that Convention and what took place. The frontrunner Robert F. Kennedy Sr. was to be the Democratic presidential nominee before he was assassinated just a few months before the convention. We are in a similar situation. I think of Shirley Anita Chisholm’s 1972 presidential campaign unbought and unbossed. I reflect upon how pledges for Shirley were withdrawn at the last minute. This is why I want to be present. It does appear that Kamala Harris has over 1,968 delegate votes pledged to become the nominee. As a chosen delegate for DC, I want to be there to help ensure there are no withdrawals. Your donations will help to cover my airfare and lodging while I attend the Democratic Convention.
