*The Lincoln Democratic Town Committee (LDTC) wishes to introduce itself to you!*
The *35 members of the LDTC are elected* on the Presidential Primary Ballot for registered Democrats in the Town of Lincoln. (The same is true of the Lincoln Republican Town Committee (LRTC.) In addition the LDTC welcomes Democrats registered in Lincoln to join as associate members. Part of the *mandated duties of the LDTC is to inform and engage the people of Lincoln on issues of importance that are a priority for the Democratic Party*. These issues impact everyone in town and include voting rights, reproductive rights, climate change, healthcare reform, racial justice, and others. The LDTC *engages the public* through action opportunities, generating and amplifying news and opinion pieces, and educational opportunities through panel discussions, lectures, films, meetings, videos and other formats. The LDTC *affirms the Lincoln tradition that town elections are nonpartisan*. We do want to reiterate that town elections traditionally have been nonpartisan, and we strongly believe that they must continue to be. People run for office in Lincoln, regardless of party affiliation, because they want to serve the town. The LDTC recognizes that Lincoln Talk is not a forum for public debate on these topics—however, we seek to uphold our prescribed role in the life of the town by sharing opportunities and information that align with our priorities from time to time. It is our *hope that these links are useful and interesting* for those who choose to click through, *regardless of party affiliation*. *Current opportunities: * Are you interested in understanding why and *how down ballot races in other states have the potential to impact us here in Lincoln*?
