In 2024, The Bonner County Democrats contributed $250 to the American Legion Unit 155 of Oldtown, Idaho to help them send 5 well deserving local high school girls to Boise for a week for the girls State program.

American Legion Auxiliary is a nonpartisan program that teaches young women responsible citizenship. Since the inception of the Girls State program in 1937, nearly one million young people have had the opportunity to learn first-hand how their state and local government works.

The BC Dems were at the Sandpoint Pride Festival July 12 and 13th until 8:00 pm.

Pride is a human rights issue and we support the rights of all people to live in a safe, supportive community.

We support the freedom to be, to become, and to belong.

We had a great turn out for the 2024 4th of July Parade. The Bonner County Democrats value freedom and will fight for your freedom to live your best life without government overreach into your personal and private life.

Our freedoms are sacred to us and we will continue to fight for them.

Berkeley Cox, pictured here with Sylvia Humes, Scholarship Chair, wrote that she is passionate about inspiring other young people to become involved in local and national politics so their voices will be heard. She has dedicated the final months of her senior year "as an active voice for my community and my peers" by working as an intern to successfully elect Jim Woodward to the Idaho State Senate. "This year I decided to use my voice, my passion for justice and my desire to work hard for what I believe in to try and make a change at the state level".

Berkeley plans to attend either Georgetown University, Washington D.C. or Fordham University, New York City majoring in Political Science, Global Relations, and Peace & Conflict Studies.Her ultimate goal is to become a lawyer.

We wish her the very best in her ambitious future endeavors!!

The Bonner County Democrats partner with local businesses in Sandpoint to raise money for the homeless transitions group here in Sandpoint. They help house families and help them get back on their feet with services needed.
