The Washington County Democratic Committee cordially invites you to our Annual Banquet on Thursday, September 25, 2025, at the Hilton Garden Inn, Southpointe. The evening begins with a social hour and cash bar at 5:30 PM, followed by dinner at 6:30 PM.
This year, we are proud to present the Legacy of Leadership Award to J. Bracken Burns, Sr., in recognition of a lifetime devoted to public service, community advancement, and decades of trusted leadership. As a four-term Washington County Commissioner, Bracken managed a $150 million budget, led 52 departments, and championed groundbreaking initiatives such as the Alzheimer’s Unit at the County Health Center, the Panhandle Trail, and the “Furlough into Service” program. His trailblazing work in emergency medical services and disaster planning helped make Washington County a statewide model.
A veteran, educator, and lifelong advocate for civil rights and human dignity, Bracken’s impact reaches far beyond government buildings and lives on in the people and communities he’s served. His many honors include the Lewis E. Waller Humanitarian Award, Governor’s Award for Excellence in Local Government, Area Agency on Aging Humanitarian Award, and NAACP Human Rights Award.
We are also thrilled to welcome Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis as our Keynote Speaker. A pioneer in Pennsylvania politics, Lt. Governor Davis made history as the first Black lieutenant governor in the state’s history. He brings a powerful voice to the fight for working families, voting rights, public education, and economic justice. His story, which begins with growing up in a union household and leads to becoming a leader in Harrisburg, is a testament to the values we share as Democrats. We look forward to his inspiring message as we gather to celebrate leadership, service, and the future of our party.
We would be honored to have your support in making this banquet a great success. With your help and generosity, we can continue to grow and strengthen the Democratic Party in Washington County to ensure that Democrats win at the local, state, and federal level.
There are multiple ways to support the banquet: become a sponsor, purchase an ad in our program, or simply buy your tickets and join us for the evening. We are deeply grateful for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you on September 25.
