Before becoming LCDC’s chair, he served as a committee person for more than twenty years. O’Brien lives with his wife Jan in Manheim Township, where he also served as a School Board Director and Township Commissioner.
As chair of LCDC, he plans to:
- Promote Democratic party unity
- Increase diversity at all levels of the county’s Democratic party
- Improve visibility and accessibility of party leadership
- Collaborate with Democrats to bolster party operations throughout the county
- Advocate for and promote Democratic candidates at all levels of government
- Expand the Democratic party throughout the county
O’Brien wants LCDC to continue fighting for issues that are important to everyone: healthcare, women’s right to make healthcare decisions, fair elections, and protecting democracy.
A key goal of the Democratic party, he said, is “to make the American Dream possible for everyone, no matter their race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or nationality.”
