The bylaws of the Bedford County Democrats specify that the governance of the party is the responsibility of the precinct committee persons. Since members of the committee were elected in the Spring 2018 primary election, the committee was required to reorganize. The reorganization meeting of Bedford County Democratic Committee was held on June 12. The elected officers are listed below.
- Valerie Pawuk, Chair
- Chris Smith, Vice Chairwoman
- Steve Walter, Vice Chairman
- Colleen Prezlock, Secretary
- Bonnie Walter, Treasurer
Dave Popp was elected as our State Committee Person in the Spring 2022 Primary.
The chair appoints an Executive Committee. The Executive Committee consists of the officers, State Committee Person, and these appointed members: Candi Bussard, Linda Gunn, Nina Palmer Sweeney, Glenn Rogers, and Norman Williams.
After reorganization, Executive Committee has the authority to appoint committee people to fill vacant positions. Parties interested in serving on the committee should contact Val.
