Chrissie Geels has been elected chair of the Monroe County Democratic Party, following the June resignation of former chair Samuel Ujdak. Geels, who previously served as vice chair, was elected by precinct chairs and vice chairs during a caucus Sunday at Bloomington City Hall.
In her candidacy letter, Geels pointed to recent grassroots organizing and community outreach, writing, “We’re not just talking about change; we’re making it happen.”
She takes over as the party prepares to expand its organizing efforts and build local engagement ahead of the 2026 election cycle.
