Dear Friend, I am once again running for Democratic committeeman of
the 32nd Ward in the upcoming March 19, 2024 election–and this time, I need you more than ever–because it’s a write-in campaign. Time to
learn to spell WAGUESPACK once and for all!
Earlier this year, I had decided to step down from the committeeman role, and support a different candidate for the seat. Unfortunately, that candidate was unable to collect the necessary petitions. And at the same time, a troublingly extreme candidate also circulated petitions. That individual has recently been fired from his job after a video of him pulling down Israeli hostage posters emerged online.
Thankfully, he has since withdrawn from the committeeman race, leaving the position open.
I've decided to take on the job again, but it now requires a write-in vote for the March 19th election.
I'm asking for your support as you go to vote in this primary. You can write in my name "Scott Waguespack" on your mail in ballot, on your
early voting ballot at one of our early vote locations, or on Election Day, March 19th. The write-in space for Democratic Committeeman will be at the bottom of your ballot.
This is a critical election for Democrats. We are in very difficult times and need reasoned, level-headed, experienced people leading our
Democratic Party to make sure we elect Democrats up and down the ballot, defend reproductive rights by supporting pro-choice judge candidates, and defeat Donald Trump in November. I am ready to step up and take on that fight,and ask for your support so I can continue to
serve you as Democratic Committeeman.
Thank you for your continued support, and remember to please WRITE IN
Scott Waguespack for committeeman on your ballot in the March 19th
election!
