CASS COUNTY DEMS UNITED

ABOUT US

Cass County Dems United is a multi-candidate committee in conjunction with Cass County DemNPL. Our organization supports DemNPL candidates and operations in Cass County and beyond. 

We believe in supporting all members of our community through civic action and Democratic-leaning policies. Some examples of our actions include:

  • Campaign donations to our members running for office
  • Social and fundraising events
  • Volunteer opportunities
  • Improving the health, safety, and lives of our community 

A strong democracy starts in our own backyard! Let us know how you want to participate by filling out our survey! We hope to see you soon!

Megan Ridl – President

Hi, my name is Meg and I am pleased to serve as the Dems United president! I work at a software company as a quality engineer and I’ve been married to my wonderful husband, Damian, for twenty one years. My first introduction to the Dem-NPL was at the 2018 state convention. A lot has happened since then, leading to my becoming chair of District 10 in south Fargo. I’m so excited to take Dems United to the next level and be the organization our community needs!

Zoe Absey – Vice President

Hello! My name is Zoe and I am excited to be the Vice President of Dems United! I am the Program Director at the YWCA Cass Clay and am currently serving as a Park Board Commissioner for the Fargo Park District. I have been active in District 21 for the last two years and am excited to get more involved in our Dem community through Dems United!
