Powhatan Democratic Club registers voters at pub crawl

image3Members of the Powhatan Democratic Club organized a pub crawl last weekend to help register more voters in the area.

They stopped at popular brunch spots to reach more voters, all while sampling Astoria’s delicious food and drinks.

They registered new voters before November’s general election, as well as voters who want to register as a Democrat for next year’s primary.

Founded in 1901, the Powhatan and Pocahontas Regular Democratic Club represents the 36th Assembly District, Part A in Astoria.

“Voter registration drives usually mean sitting at a table on a street corner for hours as people pass you by,” said Rod Townsend, the club’s outreach director. “By bringing the clipboards to the brunch and happy hour crowds, we reached more people and had a lot of fun.”

“At each stop along our pub crawl, we spread awarenesses for our organization and met new people.”
