England goes online

From the Floyd County Democratic Party

Democratic Mayor Candidate Douglas England has gone digital! Taking his message of growth and opportunity online, he has announced the creation of his campaign website, http://www.dougenglandfornewalbany.com./ The website, which features information on Doug's background, previous accomplishments, and offers citizens ways they can contact him and volunteer for his campaign.

Many candidates in recent years have utilized the world wide web as an opportunity to connect with constituents. City Clerk Marcey Wisman even took the concept beyond the campaign and posted numerous records and other documents from the City Clerk's office online. Now, citizens don't even need to leave the comfort of her own home to view meeting minutes or obtain other documents. In the county, other officeholders such as County Clerk Linda Moeller have lead efforts to provide other records online.

Democrats view this continued commitment to provide information and communicate with citizens as the appropriate duty of government and positive campaigns. We hope other will join this effort to continue to improve and progress our government and its services.
