Portage County Democratic Party Dave Obey Award
This Award was initiated in 2004 to honor Congressman Dave Obey’s thirty-fifth year as a US Representative. It is given annually at the PCDP Picnic.
Excluded from consideration are publicly-elected officials and the current chair of the PCDP. The selection committee – as appointed by the chair annually – shall contain no nominees for the award for that year. The selection committee has sole rights to select the award recipient (selection is not confirmed by the Executive Board nor the general membership).
PCDP Democrats can submit applications (copy below) for fellow Democrats. Requirements are that the nominee live in Portage County, be a current member of the PCDP and support the philosophies of the Democratic Party. In addition, a nominee should exhibit some of those traits that Dave Obey has demonstrated during his career in politics: hard-working, respected, caring about poor or disadvantaged, steadfast and conscientious. The nominee should make us proud that he/she is a Democrat. The award is based on activity in the Democratic Party over the last year.
