Rooted in Community. Centered on People. Working for Evanston.
Elizabeth has proudly called Evanston home for five years, where she is raising her two Black daughters and building roots in this wonderful community. As Evanston's newly elected Precinct Executive for 3-D, she is committed to strengthening the connections between neighbors, community leadership, and the political process so that our community's priorities continue moving forward.
As a mother intentionally raising her daughters in a strong Black neighborhood with community, culture, and opportunity, Elizabeth recognizes the responsibility that comes with her privilege.She is committed to working alongside community leadership to elevate residents’ priorities and make sure Evanston voices are represented in the rooms where decisions are made.
Born here. Built here. Still here.
Melanie Moon was born and raised right here in Evanston. After earning two Master's degrees and raising her four children in Cincinnati, she moved back to her roots in 2002. As Evanston's newly elected Precinct Executive for 3-E, she brings a lifetime of community knowledge and an unshakeable belief that this neighborhood deserves leadership that remembers where it came from.
As creator of the Race and the City Cincinnati 1820–Present Project, Melanie uses history, education, and art to build the foundation for racial justice. She is committed to ensuring the families who stayed when times were hard are not pushed out now — and that every voice in Precinct 3-E is heard.
A Precinct Executive (PE) is an elected member of the Hamilton County Democratic Party Central Committee. We are the ground-level connection between you — our neighbors — and the Democratic Party.
Each precinct in Cincinnati has its own elected representative. We serve Evanston Precincts 3-D and 3-E, covering our streets, our schools, and our community.
We are your first point of contact for Democratic politics in Evanston. We knock doors, listen to concerns, share information about candidates and ballot issues, and make sure every voice in our precinct is heard.
We serve on the Hamilton County Democratic Party Central Committee, casting votes on party leadership and policy on your behalf.
We walk our precincts, knock on doors, and build real relationships — understanding what Evanston residents need most.

We believe in a Cincinnati that works for everyone. That starts with showing up, speaking up, and voting.
Evanston is one of Cincinnati's most historic and vibrant neighborhoods, proud to be home to four elementary schools, one high school, and Xavier University — offering a quality education from Pre-K all the way to a PhD.

From beautification to food pantries, from the Memorial Day Parade to housing development — ECC is the heartbeat of this neighborhood.

Everything you need to understand how your party works, how meetings are run, and how to get involved. Knowledge is the foundation of effective representation.
Robert's Rules of Order is the most widely used guide for running fair, orderly meetings. First written in 1876 by General Henry M. Robert, it gives any group — from a small precinct meeting to a large state convention — a shared set of rules so that meetings stay on track, every voice gets heard, and decisions are made legitimately. Knowing these rules protects you and your fellow members.
A member says: "I move to [do something]."
Another member says: "I second the motion." — This means it's worth discussing, not that they agree.
The Chair opens the floor for discussion. Every member may speak once before a vote.
When discussion wraps up, the Chair calls for a vote.
The majority vote determines the outcome. The Chair announces the result.
| PHRASE | WHEN TO USE IT |
|---|---|
| "I move to ___" | Formally propose something to the group |
| "I second the motion" | Support discussing it — doesn't mean you agree with it |
| "Call the question" | You think debate has gone on long enough — let's vote. Needs 2/3 to pass. |
| "Point of Order" | Someone is violating procedure — the Chair must respond immediately |
| "Point of Information" | You have a question about procedure (not the topic itself) |
| "I appeal the decision" | You disagree with the Chair's ruling — the group votes to overrule the Chair |
| "Division!" | You doubt a voice vote result — forces a show of hands or standing count |
| "Abstain" | Choosing not to vote yes or no — different from voting No |
