Pagan Delegates at Democratic Convention

The two known Pagan delegates to the Democratic Convention wil be representing Maine.

From their convention blog, Blue Pagans at the DNC:

Rita Moran is Chairperson of the Kennebec County Democratic Committee, and is attending the Democratic National Convention as an official delegate for the state of Maine. Rita, who runs a bookstore in Maine, was outed and stalked last year by a local conservative Christian organization. Since then she has dedicated herself to being an open and positive Pagan presence within the Democratic Party.

Ed Lachowicz is Vice Chair of the Kennebec County Democratic Committee, and a Maine Democratic State Committeeman. In addition, he is a regular blogger with Turn Maine Blue, a progressive state-focused blog that has been granted press credentials at the Democratic National Convention.


While I've not met Ed, I've known Rita for many years. She's smart and savvy and passionate, and I have enormous respect for her. Blessings on Rita and Ed for their commitment to democracy.
