About this stop

The full picture

Madison County Democrats Chair **Brandi Solorzano** announced the next county meeting: **Thursday, September 3, 6:30 p.m.**, at the **Basham Building – Huntsville Square**. **Kelly Grappe**, candidate for Arkansas Secretary of State, is the **guest speaker**. This is a **county Democratic Party** meeting, not a campaign-hosted rally. The chair’s note says you do not have to be a regular attendee — neighbors, family, and colleagues are welcome to meet Kelly, hear why she is running, learn what the Secretary of State’s office does, and ask questions. The chair quotes Kelly: “Leadership in this role isn’t about headlines or ideology—it’s about steady, transparent administration and respect for the law.” There will be a **donation area** at the meeting. Donations may go to Kelly’s campaign or to the Madison County Democrats advertising and building-rental fund (meetings, candidate visits, and voter information). Campaign gifts: use the donate page on this site. Local news places the Basham Building on **Polk Square** (Huntsville’s downtown square). The party invite does not list a street number. Kelly is traveling from nearby Eureka Springs for this Huntsville meeting. Lodging is private and is not listed as a public stop.
