Kudos, Chairman Holland

Utah State Democratic Chair, Wayne Holland Jr. was elected by other western party state chairs to represent them on the executive committee of the Association of State Democratic Chairs (ASDC).

The election took place at a meeting of the Democratic National committee (DNC) that is happening in New Orleans. It is the first major convention to be hosted in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina.

The ASDC is the most powerful block of votes within the DNC. It represents 112 votes of the 435 member DNC. It was the endorsement from the ASDC that put Howard Dean over the top in his run for DNC Chair.

The ASDC is a major supporter of Chairman Dean's 50 state strategy to strengthen the Democratic Party across the United States, a strategy that has had a huge impact in Utah allowing the Utah Democrat Party to recruit the largest number of candidates in recent decades.

Congratulations Wayne, its nice to see that the other western chairs recognize your good works.
