Local Democrats are gathered for their annual holiday party Tuesday night at Melody Hall to recognize volunteers, and recharge for the next year. The usually subdued fundraiser took on a somber tone as Kelli Linville spoke at length about the need for a positive tone in our political discourse. She was recognized for her years of service in the state legislature, as were several other candidates and elected officials in the crowd.
