Malden Democrats elect new slate of officers

Ari Taylor elected Chair

  At its most recent meeting on April 9, the Malden Democratic City Committee (MDCC) elected new officers for a two-year term. They are as follows:

• Chair: Ariane Taylor.
• Vice Chairs: Stephen Winslow and Michelle Luong.
• Secretary: Erik Fearing.
• Treasurer: David Camell.
• Affirmative Action and Outreach Officer: Stephen Lewis.

  The Committee thanked outgoing officers Ryan O’Malley, Eric Henry and Dawn Macklin for their service.

  Incoming Chair Ari Taylor has taken up the reins with enthusiasm, emphasizing that the group’s role is more important than ever. “Every day it becomes more apparent that we need to redouble our efforts to preserve and expand voting rights and protections; address inequities in our society; and ensure that all people are treated with respect and dignity and receive basic human rights. For as long as I can remember, the Malden Democratic City Committee has worked to address these issues and many more by electing Democrats and advocating for better policies at local, state and national levels. I hope we will continue to push for much-needed change and ensure that democracy is intact in Malden and beyond.”

  Democrats in Malden are invited to attend the MDCC monthly meetings and periodic Ward Democratic Committee meetings.
