Meet The Board
Kristy Edenfield
President
Kristy started campaigning when she was in middle school. She grew up as an “Army Brat”, and decided to make Savannah her home over 28 years ago. After a stint as a Capitol Hill staffer, Kristy resumed working on the campaign side of politics - including flipping a congressional seat as the campaign manager. Now, Kristy uses her skills to support local candidates up and down the ballot. She has been married to Steve, a Savannah native, for more than 28 years, and they have one adult son. Kristy has served as the secretary of the Savannah Federation of Democratic Women, and now as President she will support the objective of the organization, which is to unite women of the Democratic Party; to promote the cause of the Democratic Party and to encourage full participation of women in every level of the Democratic Party Structure.
Tracey Renzi
Vice President
Tracey has served as Vice President of the Savannah Federation of Democratic Women since 2025, bringing both passion and purpose to the role. A Savannah resident since 2015, she is deeply committed to her community and to the causes that matter most — equal rights for all people, women's rights, and for the LGBTQIA+ community. Her dedication to service extends beyond politics. Tracey served on the board of First City Network, Georgia's oldest LGBTQ organization, from 2022 to 2024, and have served as a board member for Habitat for Humanity in Providence, Rhode Island. She also volunteers with dog rescue organizations, believing that showing up for those who need a voice — human or otherwise — is simply the right thing to do. When she's not advocating for change, you'll find her soaking up the vibrant local music scene that makes Savannah such a special place to call home.
Elizabeth Raley
Secretary
Elizabeth has lived in Savannah since 1997 and is a 2001 graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design. She's a native of Charlotte, NC.
She was the secretary for the LGBTQIA+ club, Lambda, while at SCAD during her junior and senior years.
She's a photographer, business owner, and activist.
Elizabeth has always been into liberal politics and doing the right thing to get equal rights for people. She has a special affinity for the LGBTQIA+ community and women's rights.
She is a Planned Parenthood volunteer escort and has been elected to the national group, The Humanist Society. She also volunteers as a photographer with Savannah Indivisible and works on various democratic campaigns when the need arises.
Elizabeth loves the outdoors and camps with her husband in the Okefenokee Swamp frequently and enjoys road trips to rural Quebec to spend time in the woods at a lake with friends and family.
Cathy Sheridan
Treasurer
I am originally from New Jersey and have moved around the country with my Husband’s job inspecting cargo ships. We moved to Savannah in 2018 for the second time, having previously lived here from 1989 to 1993. In 2022 I retired from H&R Block as a Tax Professional and Tax Law Instructor, after working in 3 different states since 1989.
​I have always been involved in my community and politics. Prior to moving to Savannah, I was elected to the Board of Education of Cranford, NJ. I also served on the Cranford Township Recreation Advisory Board and as Chairperson of the Cranford Teen Advisory Board.
After attending the Women’s March on Washington on January 21, 2017, a group of women from my Congressional District formed “Flip NJ 7” whose goal was to elect a Democrat for the first time in over 100 years. We succeeded in electing Tom Malinowski to represent the 7th CD of NJ!
​In 2022, my husband Tom and I got very involved in Wade Herring’s campaign to unseat Buddy Carter. Unfortunately, we did not have the same result as in NJ, but we are not done working yet!
