Marnie Delaney - Candidate Statement
My goals as Democrats Abroad DNC Delegate would be to:
Grow awareness and recognition of DA and its contributions to our Party
Advocate for the unique issues of Americans Abroad
Build alliances as leverage to meet our objectives and build leverage
Contribute my knowledge of issues, ability to work strategically with diverse individuals & teams (I do know a lot of people), and extensive experience with political and advocacy campaigns, to forward DA objectives.
I have been politically attuned from childhood, my grandmother was Permanent Clerk of the Connecticut Legislature and my father was the first communications leader of the Connecticut DEP. I’ve served as a volunteer on the boards of national and local organizations as well as served as a staff member on campaigns. I’ve volunteered while working in Marketing as well as owner of a children’s creativity business.
I joined Democrats Abroad after moving to France from California in 2019 and quickly became very active, serving on three Caucus Steering Committees (Womes’s, Disability & Senior), helping found two, the Medicare Portability Task Force, Affirmative Action Committee while organizing events, attending ExCom and other meetings, and contributing to our platform.
As Chair and founding member of the Global Disabilities Caucus, I am committed to increasing accessibility throughout DA while supporting our members with information, resources and enhanced legislation.
The only way we can achieve the vision I see for our country is to elect excellent Democrats, influence them and do the hard work to build their support for our important objectives.
