Message from the DEC Chair

Dear Osceola DEC Leaders

The challenges of the last couple of days have been painful to digest. When we should have been celebrating our wins in Georgia instead we are dealing with a full blown coup in Washington, D.C. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., "Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness", 45 and his cronies have continued to assault our country with their hate filled rhetoric as well as pushing entitled groups to initiate violence on our democratic intuitions, we have seen first hand their selfishness. This is why it is imperative that we ensure we have a new governor and senators that stand with all of our citizens and don't subscribe to political self enrichment. 

We as a DEC, have so much power to improve the lives of our communities and look forward to a better day with a democrat as president and both houses of congress. We have a great opportunity this year to push back on this destructive behavior and actually promote an agenda that will bring our community and hopefully our county together. I'm asking for your help to get our DEC working and ensuring that our ideals are realized.

In Solidarity,

Jemma Marie Hanson
