Bacon Academy Young Democrats

Directions

Bacon Academy Young Democrats For Bacon Academy students (and alumni!) who want to get involved! Join us! For alumni, we'll let you know when we're having a cool speaker.

This is a group for Bacon Academy students (and alumni!) to learn more about their political beliefs, meet like-minded young people, and get involved in local and state-level politics. For current Bacon students and faculty, we're meeting after school on 1st and 3rd Mondays in room 2123 at Bacon. We have some big ones in the works! :-)
Join us!

At our last meeting we got to meet Bob Fernandez, who’s running for the 48th House district which includes Colchester, Bozrah, Franklin and Lebanon.

He had just come from knocking doors, of course, and our group learned a bit about his priorities and how they can help out if they choose.

Thanks so much for coming, Bob! 💙💛🐾

Capitol field trip photo dump!
Here’s our action-packed itinerary:
- informative Capitol tour with Majority Leader Rojas
- chat with Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas in her office
- visit Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz in her office
- walk across Bushnell Park to have lunch near the Old Statehouse 🥗
- visit with heads of 3 administrative departments at their building on Columbus Blvd: DAS Commissioner Michelle Gilman, Consumer Protection Commissioner Bryan Cafferelli, and Education Deputy Commissioner Charles Hewes. So cool to see how the duties of executive and legislative branches are different but interconnected!
- back to the Capitol, where there were Earth Day activities and vendors from two towns were set up on the first floor.
- we chatted with two Bacon grads about what they do in politics. Thanks for taking time out for us, Corey Geisman and Kevin Alvarez!
- we got announced on the House floor by Rep. Biggins (including birthday shoutouts! 🎂), and we got to visit with Rep. DiCaprio and other Representatives who stopped by to say hi.
- we got announced on the Senate floor by Senators Needleman and Anwar and observed a Senate debate in progress.
- dinner at Parkville Market, of course. 🌮
