Talbot Democrats open headquarters, welcome candidates
Michele Dappert of Easton spoke to education and economic opportunity needs that include broadband access for all of Talbot County. The opening of the Democratic headquarters was also a hopeful day for the Talbot County Democratic Forum, having donated $2,675 to the International Committee of the Red Cross, one of the few humanitarian organizations able to cross frontlines to deliver life-saving supplies to the people of Ukraine.
Announcement of Candidacy
Michele Dappert, candidate for Talbot County Council, first became involved in community affairs as a student at Easton High School. Funding had been cut for the 1:1 Laptop Initiative, a program providing students with laptops, and she was asked by Vice Principal Thomas Callahan to become a student representative to help save the program.
The laptops were saved. “My desire to run for office was born there,” she recalls. “That’s when I learned people working together effectively communicating from every sector, business, government, and private citizens, can bring positive change.”
