2026 Calendar Campaign
We’re taking pre-orders for our 2026 Mon Dems calendar, designed to inspire, organize, and energize local Democrats. Your contribution will go towards our outreach and organizing efforts, ensuring that we can support and elect Democrats up and down the ballot!
Donate $26 to reserve your calendar and help us turn the page on politics as usual. A $260 donation (or more) by September 16th, 2025 (National Voter Registration Day!) will allow us to recognize you as a sponsor for the calendar campaign (and you will receive a complimentary calendar!)
You may make a donation via our ActBlue, or by mailing a check (with “2026 Calendar” on the memo line) to:
Monongalia County Democratic Executive Committee
PO Box 135, Dellslow, WV 26531
Calendars will be available in late October/November 2025.
