The Polk County Democratic Executive Committee will open a year-round office in Haines City beginning February 3, 2015. The office will be staffed by volunteers five days a week at the OK Arcade, 651 E. Main St., Suite 10.
“Polk County Democrats have traditionally opened offices across the county only during campaign periods,” said Ellis Moose III, chair of the Polk County DEC. “This year, with the growing numbers of Democrats in the county and the upcoming switch of Haines City and much of eastern Polk County to Congressional District 10 from District 9, we felt a permanent location in Haines City would help us get out the vote in 2016.”
Ruth Ann Eaddy, Democratic State Committee Woman who will manage the office, said “We will have an emphasis on helping provide photo ID cards to citizens who have been disenfranchised by the new laws.”
The new Democratic office will be open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2p.m. Staffers will provide voter registration information, volunteer services and campaign materials to support Polk County Democratic candidates.
An open house and reception will be held in the new offices later in February.
