Vision

The Kennedy Council was founded in 2003. The group provides a forum for young people (40 and under) dedicated to improving the Greater Rochester Area to discuss and debate important community issues in an atmosphere that is fun and informative.

Goals

The Council's purpose is to involve and engage Greater Rochester's next generation of politically active, socially conscious and proactive Democrats so they can:
  • Run for Office
  • Impact Issues
  • Foster Debate/Discussion
  • Help on Campaigns
  • Serve the Community

Events

Monthly Meetings: First Tuesday of each month – 5:30PM - Merchants Grill (881 Merchants Road).

Recent guest speakers include: Mayor Robert Duffy, Former Mayor Bill Johnson, District Attorney Mike Green, Media Personalities - Mike Caputo (WXXI and Messenger Post Newspapers) and Joseph Spector (Democrat and Chronicle), County Legislators Carrie Andrews, Willie Joe Lightfoot and Carla Palumbo, Former City Councilman Wade Norwood, City Councilmen Adam McFadden, Bill Pritchard, and City School Board Member Malik Evans.

The KC is a really fun, progressive group and we'd love to have you get involved with us.
