This Fall, join the Dewitt Democratic Committee in recognizing Onondaga County Legislature Chairwoman NICOLE WATTS, Onondaga County Legislature Majority Leader NODESIA HERNANDEZ, and Dewitt Democratic Committee member and Dewitt community leader DENNIS PAYNE. Come help us thank them for their ongoing
service to their communities and the Democratic Party. Likewise, we must never forget that all of our accomplishments rest on the shoulders of those who came before us, so we will also pay tribute to the late Sylvia Matousek and Joan Policano. This will be an evening to remember! Secure your tickets early at https://secure.actblue.com/donate/honorhistory
